foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just to weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for
awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there
were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economic was added in 1968,
just sixty seven years after the first award ceremony. Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars
was invested and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to
125.000 dollars. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the award are
presented to the winners. Sometime, politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions.
Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were
presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of the World War II. Some people have won two
prizes but this is rare, other has shared their prizes.
