The paper aims to present three authors and their works with respective depiction of the film adaptations based on their novels. The main motif of this description was to estimate whether love is worth paying attention and have authors throughout various decades made some smashing changes in an attitude towards presenting love.
It is the author’s intention to depict how the changing face of love is in fact the constant powerful emotion that draws people together and sometimes causes their misery. Hopefully, all of these aspects were clearly presented and will encourage the readers to reach for one of the novels discussed within this paper.
Somerset Maugham, Robert James Waller and Nicholas Sparks — these three men, coming from different decades, have all something in common. Their works, when placed together and compared, ooze a remarkable similarity — the first impression which is attached to their works is sun, warmth and complicated emotions. At the same time, each of the authors touches completely different aspects, however, all of them are referring to one point — how love may be the factor changing the lives of the characters in an ultimate way.
