Chapter 140 About the Nobel Prize

About the Nobel Prize The so-called Nobel Prize, its origin, is due to the Swedish Nobel for making smokeless explosives and He started out developing the Baku oil field and made a fortune. When he died in 1896, he paid the equivalent of two million pounds assets, the will will be handed over to a public-private consortium, and the annual interest obtained from the assets will be used to set The establishment bonus is awarded once a year to those who have contributed to the cause of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. This is the so-called Nobel Prize.Its characteristic is that it stipulates that the candidates for these five bonuses are regardless of nationality and sex

do not.But the five selection committees that decide who is the winner each year are not international, but Arranged by the Swedes themselves. We have no way of knowing what Nobel's real purpose was to set aside this estate to set up a bonus on his deathbed exist.But considering that he is the inventor of smokeless explosives, a murder weapon, there is another one among the five stipulated bonuses. The award is to be awarded to those who are committed to the cause of peace, so there must be a little bit of repentance in it, right?but negative The five Swedish groups that select the annual laureates have sometimes apparently failed to take into account the original purpose of Nobel.

Note that there is often a kind of prejudice in the selection of winners, especially in the past ten years, in the literature award most disappointing.As for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, it has almost become a kind of joke in recent years. In terms of this year's literary award, the award-winning old French poet Léger (who wrote poetry under the pseudonym St. John Basie), the diplomat-turned-poet, is the so-called "poet's poet" in France There are very few readers in China, let alone abroad.Only a mystery like the British Elliott Poets, especially appreciate Bessie's works.Allie himself not only translated Bessie's poems, but also

In five years, he recommended Bessie as a candidate to Sweden's Nobel Prize Committee for Literature (Ariel himself was the Nobel Prize winner in literature in 1948), but the literature prize that year was later awarded to Bing The island poet Laxanese, Bessie lost the election.He can be selected this year, maybe it is still because of Airy Recommended for taking off. The award of such a poet with few readers really does not arouse any new interest in his works. Interesting. In the past, the granting of the Nobel Prize in Literature was quite popular on several occasions, such as the outstanding award from Poland.

Ke Weizhi, Maeterlinck in Belgium, Tagore in India, Romain Rolland, France, and Ji in France Germany, Hamsun in Norway, and George Bernard Shaw in England are all worthy of applause.But like 1953 It is a bit ironic that this year's literary prize was awarded to Winston Churchill in England. The most lovable is George Bernard Shaw, who was announced by the Nobel Prize Committee in 1925 as the When he was the winner of the year, Lao Xiao wrote a postcard to the committee, saying that he was not too poor to wait for the award. For money, please change it to other writers who are waiting for money.
