Nobel Prize
Every year, Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to “the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction”. Literature was the fourth prize area Alfred Nobel mentioned in his will. In fact, during the last years of his life, he even tried his hand as an author and began writing fiction. The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded by the Swedish Academy, Stockholm, Sweden.
The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded 110 times to 114 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2017. A detailed list of all the Nobel Prize in Literature winners can be found on the official website. 14 women have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature so far. Here are some more interesting facts about the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Sources: the books in this list have been compiled from Weber County Library System, and Nobel Prize's website. Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to an author (and not a book). Hence, this page contains all the popular books written by Nobel Prize winning authors.
