Author generally refers to the creator of literary, artistic and scientific works, and sometimes refers to the founder of a certain theory, or the organizer or planner of an event. In the copyright laws of the Soviet Union, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Spain and other countries, the author refers to a natural person who directly engages in literary and artistic creation activities through his own independent thoughts and uses his own skills and methods to create works that reflect the creator's personal characteristics.
They include novelists, poets, prose writers, playwrights, composers, lyric writers, journalists, painters, calligraphers, sculptors, handicraft designers, architects, photographers, translators, computer programmers and so on. The copyright laws of the United States, Japan and other countries also recognize legal persons as authors.
The novel mainly shows the character and performance center through stories. The story comes from life, but after sorting, refining and arranging, it is more concentrated, complete and representative than the real cases in real life.
