dynamite king”. Nobel was very upset. He had invented dynamite to save lives – lives that were lost because other
explosives were dangerous to use. He hated violence and war. And he did not like the world to think of him as a man
of war.

fortune . Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize, an annual award to honour leaders of science, literature and
