Nobel Prize in Literature

The Nobel Prize in Literature is a prestigious international award presented annually to an author, based on their body of work and not a single piece of writing. It was established by the will of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, in 1895, and first awarded in 1901. The prize aims to recognize outstanding contributions to literature in the form of novels, short stories, poetry, and plays. Over the years, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to many renowned authors, including Ernest Hemingway, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Toni Morrison, for their exceptional literary achievements. The selection process is carried out by the Swedish Academy, and the award ceremony takes place in Stockholm, Sweden.
