The Nobel Prize for Literature

2003
J.M. Coetzee
J. M. Coetzee

South Africa

In his will, Alfred Nobel stated that prizes for Literature be given to those who, during the preceding year, "shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind" and that one part be given to the person who "shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction." The prize, therefore, is not associated with one particular book, but bestowed upon an author who produces works consistent with Nobel's vision. Create your own collection of Nobel Prize winners. (Click on the author names to search the abebooks.com database for books by that author.) Read more about the Nobel Prize at the official site,www.nobel.se.
