The Nobel Prize: some figures and the facts.
The Nobel Prize: some figures and the facts.
At each Nobel ceremony for members of family Nobel
The special quota is allocated: invitations are received by the head of the family
Societies with the spouse which have the right to take with itself twenty
Relatives on ceremony of delivery of awards and six persons on
Banquet (to the head of the family and his wife places behind a table of the honourable are taken away
Visitors among winners). Participation in celebrations paid, however
Partially expenses of descendants are compensated by the Nobel fund.
On the Nobel celebrations of 2001 are undertaken
Unprecedented in history of these ceremonies of a security measure. In
The first turn it is connected with acts of terrorism in the USA and war in
Afghanistan, after all the majority from invited to festival in
Stockholm winners of last years - Americans. Police of Stockholm
Provides round-the-clock protection in Grand Hotel where lives
Great bulk of visitors.
To the most rigid criticism among the organisations which are engaged
Choice of winners of Nobel Prizes, is exposed Swedish
Academy (awards under the literature). Its decisions have displeased
From the very beginning: by the first has been noted, we will remind, to very few people
French poet Armand Sjulli Prjudom known today. In the address
The Swedish academy then the angry letter of the protest has arrived,
Initiated August Strindbergom and signed forty vosemju
The Swedish writers, - in their opinion, the most worthy the award
There was Lev Tolstoi.
Certainly, academicians did not begin to reconsider the decision,
As is known, Russian writer and did not become Nobel
The winner though its nominee was put forward repeatedly. More
That, has not received the award and Strindberg, traditionally it speaks
Personal hostility of academicians to the rebel-compatriot.
Actually last of really wide the known
The writers, deserved glory still to "nobelja", steels the Colombian
Gabriel Garsija Marquez, Englishman William Golding and ours
Compatriot Joseph Brodsky (are awarded accordingly in 1982,
1983 and 1987). Last fifteen years of the award
Were awarded to the little-known writers representing the countries,
Traditionally considered as literary "periphery".
For each of them the award was not simply high award, but
And good possibility to grow rich as at the expense of the bonus sum
(Last years it stably comes nearer to one million
Dollars), and for the bill of considerably their increasing sales
Products.
The example with the last year's winner Chinese Gao the Blue is indicative
TSzjan: before award award in Sweden it has not been sold by any
Its books, and within only two weeks after became
The decision of the Swedish academy is known, have dispersed about forty thousand
Copies (normal it is considered growth of sales of products
The winner in 20 - 30 times).
Recently charges of the Swedish even more often sound
Academicians in unduly "politically correct" behaviour, that is
Notorious preference of outsiders to favourites. For example, in it
To year in Stockholm the hearing circulated, that the winner becomes
The representative of Latvia or Estonia, thus that could nobody
To name any known writer from Baltic republics.
By the way, with the winner of 2001 the writer from Trinidad
Vidiadharom Najpolom too has not done without an incident. In interview
To Swedish of radio he without a confusion shade admitted, that defined
Role in its success have played... Prostitutes: to dare to marry
It could not, for long serious relations with
The representative of other floor negatively would affect on
To job, but also absolutely to live without women too was unable, so
That women of easy virtue have appeared the present rescue. It is necessary to notice, that
Under the Swedish laws purchase of sexual services is
Crime for which it is possible to get to prison.
However, the Nobel winners are some kind of "sacred
Cows ", and in Sweden have pretended, that have not noticed the careless
Recognitions.
Recently in Norway the information for the first time has been promulgated about
Attempts of the Soviet management to "punch" the world Nobel Prize
For Nikita Sergeevicha Khruschev. According to the newspaper "Aftenposten",
The Soviet ambassador in Oslo Michael Gribanov met the chairman
Norwegian Nobel committee Gunnarom Janom in January 1960
Year, trying to find out how its colleagues will concern the offer
To award the Soviet leader.
Besides, as the Finnish historians, some days have established
After a management of the USSR discussed idea to put forward on the award at once
Three persons - Khruschev, US president Eisenhower and the president
Finland Kekkonena - as a symbolical step to the termination
"Cold war".
For the unknown reasons the initiative of development has not received, and
After in May, 1960 Soviet raketchiki have brought down
The American plane-spy, about any joint rewarding
The world and speech award could not be.
Award of Nobel Prizes as a whole occurs in
Conformity with will Alfreda Nobelja reflected in its will.
Stably one of points of this document is not carried out only -
In what makes a reservation, that winners should be awarded for
The achievements made them within the past year. In opinion
The experts who are engaged in definition of winners, now
It is impossible to define true value for that mankind or
Other discovery without check by time. Therefore scientist,
As a rule, hand over awards for the jobs, made ten-twenty
Years back.
To thicket of representatives of other countries of the Nobel Prize
Americans - received 215 times, on the second place - Germans - 71
Time, on the third - Englishmen - 66 times. At Russia - 19 winners,
One of which, Boris Pasternak, has been compelled from the award
To refuse. Most "international" are awards on
To the literature and for the world, in the others winners numerically dominate from
The United States. The married couple received Nobel
Awards of all once: in 1903 winners in physics of a steel
Frenchman Pierre Kjuri and his wife Pole Maria Sklodovsky-kjuri.
Last, besides, became the unique woman awarded
The Nobel Prize twice (second time - in chemistry, in 1911).
Men - twice winners three: Americans of physics of J. Bardin and
Chemist L.Polling, and also English chemist F.Senger.
