I do not see that I  have deserved any fame

and I have no taste for it.

 

Alfred Nobel

Ïîäïèñü: A Nobel Prize

                                   

                                    During his life he often felt he

                                    was useless. He was world

                                    famous for his works he was

                                    never personally well known, for

                                    throughout his life he avoid

                                    publicity. But since his death

                                    his name brought fame and

                                    glory to others. His greatest

                                    wish was to see an end of wars

                                    and thus peace between

                                    nations. His famous will,

dated November 27, 1895, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology and Medicine, Literature, Peace and Economics is a memorial to his interests and ideals. And so the man who felt he should have died at birth is remembered and respected long after his death.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Candidates for a Nobel prize must be recommended in writing by a qualified authority. Final decisions are made for physics, chemistry and economics. Each December 10, on the anniversary of Nobel's death, the prize-awarding bodies—the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (Physics, Economics, and Chemistry), the Swedish Academy (Literature), the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute (Physiology or Medicine), and the Norwegian Nobel Committee (Peace)—present recipients with a financial award, a diploma, and a gold medal.

     In 1901, the first Nobel Festivities & Prize Award Ceremonies were held. The place of the event was the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.
