After inventing dynamite, Swedish- born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he

inventor of the dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be
used for awarding prizes to people who had made world while contribution to mankind.
Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics
was added in 1968, just sixty- seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel’s original
legacy of nine million dollars was invested and the interest in this sum is used for the awards
which vary from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s
death, the awards are presented to the winners. Some politics plays an important role in the
judge’s decision. Americans have won numerous science awards but relatively few literature
