After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of 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 worldwide contributions 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 awarded ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medals, illuminated diploma and money) are present to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important roles in the judges’ decision. American have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; other have shares their prizes.

Dịch:

Sau khi phát minh ra thuốc nổ, Alfred Nobel gốc Thụy Điển đã trở thành một người rất giàu có. Tuy nhiên, anh đã thấy trước sức mạnh hủy diệt toàn cầu của nó đã quá muộn. Nobel không muốn được nhớ đến là người phát minh ra thuốc nổ, vì vậy vào năm 1895, chỉ hai tuần trước khi qua đời, ông đã thành lập một quỹ dùng để trao giải thưởng cho những người có đóng góp cho nhân loại trên toàn thế giới. Ban đầu có năm giải thưởng: văn học, vật lý, hóa học, y học và hòa bình. Kinh tế học được bổ sung vào năm 1968, chỉ 67 năm sau lễ trao giải đầu tiên.

Di sản ban đầu trị giá 9 triệu đô la của Nobel đã được đầu tư và tiền lãi trên số tiền này được sử dụng cho các giải thưởng có giá trị từ 30.000 đô la đến 125.000 đô la.

Hàng năm vào ngày 10 tháng 12, ngày giỗ của Nobel, các giải thưởng (huy chương vàng, bằng tốt nghiệp được chiếu sáng và tiền) sẽ được trao cho những người đoạt giải. Đôi khi chính trị đóng vai trò quan trọng trong quyết định của thẩm phán. Người Mỹ đã giành được nhiều giải thưởng khoa học nhưng lại tương đối ít giải thưởng văn học.

Không có giải thưởng nào được trao từ năm 1940 đến năm 1942 khi bắt đầu Thế chiến thứ hai. Một số người đã giành được hai giải thưởng, nhưng điều này rất hiếm; những người khác đã chia sẻ giải thưởng của họ.
