WFotW ~ Introduction To Faulkner On The Web An Introduction to William Faulkner on the Web, an online resource devoted to the nobel Prizewinning novelist. http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/faulkner/intro.html
Extractions: An Introduction William Faulkner on the Web is intended as an evolving guide to the life and works of William Faulkner, by all accounts one of America's greatest writers. His apocryphal Yoknapatawpha County , setting for most of his fiction and patterned after his real-life home in Oxford and Lafayette County, Mississippi, is perhaps the most famous address in American literature; it is a familiar location to literature students of all ages who encounter it in such often-anthologized stories as " Barn Burning " and " A Rose for Emily ." Cinema buffs still enjoy films such as To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep which Faulkner co-wrote. Visitors from around the world come here to visit Rowan Oak , his home in Oxford, and to attend the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference at the University of Mississippi each August. Most important, though, are his novels

Extractions: Alfred Nobel Alfred Nobel's last will and testament is clear and concise: "The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way. The capital shall be invested by my executors in safe securities and shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvements; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work of an idealistic tendency; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or best work for fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical works by the Caroline Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee for five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, so that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be a Scandinavian or not."

Extractions: In Madras, I attended the Hindu High School, Triplicane, during the years 1922-25. My university education (1925-30) was at the Presidency College. I took my bachelor's degree, B.Sc. (Hon.), in physics in June 1930. In July of that year, I was awarded a Government of India scholarship for graduate studies in Cambridge, England. In Cambridge, I became a research student under the supervision of Professor R.H. Fowler (who was also responsible for my admission to Trinity College). On the advice of Professor P.A.M. Dirac I took my Ph.D. degree at Cambridge in the summer of 1933. In the following October, I was elected to a Prize Fellowship at Trinity College for the period 1933-37. During my Fellowship years at Trinity, I formed lasting friendships with several, including Sir Arthur Eddington and Professor E.A. Milne. While on a short visit to Harvard University (in Cambridge, Massachusetts), at the invitation of the then Director, Dr. Harlow Shapley, during the winter months (January-March) of 1936, I was offered a position as a Research Associate at the University of Chicago by Dr. Otto Struve and President Robert Maynard Hutchins. I joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in January 1937. And I have remained at this University ever since.

Boston Globe Online / Table Of Contents Review of Canetti's The torch in my ear by Robert Taylor in Boston Globe Online. http://www.boston.com/globe/search/stories/nobel/1982/1982v.html
Extractions: THE TORCH IN MY EAR, by Elias Canetti, translated by Joachim Neugroschel. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 371 pp. $16.50. The second volume of Elias Canetti's odd yet oddly compelling memoirs distills the moral force of high Central European culture of which he is a noble example. He also conveys the confinement and oppressive weight of that tradition. Profound, passionate, highly readable, his memoir, in the style of much mid-European thought, displays a dense and abstract texture. Canetti's has been an unusual career. Surprise winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize, he is the author of disparate masterworks: "Auto-da-Fe," titled in German "Die Blendung," or "The Blinding"- a reference to the blinding of Samson - an acute, dark novel concerning the motives of fascism; and of "Crowds and Power," a brilliant study of the psychology of mass phenomena. The memoirs are not in this class. They are episodic, of high quality, but too discursive as a whole. The English translation is barely adequate; the independence of Canetti's mind struggles against the prosiness of the text. The title proclaims the range of the author's intellect on three symbolic levels: "The Torch In My Ear," expresses the conversion of sight into sound, the writer's craft; moreover, "The Torch" was the journal of Karl Kraus, the fearless Viennese critic of society and language whose presence is germane here. Much of Canetti's life during the '20s consisted of a continuous inner dialogue and debate with Kraus, his spiritual father. Finally, the title carries overtones of July 15, 1927, the burning of the Palais of Justice witnessed by Canetti, influencing his study of crowd behavior and presaging the destructive historical fires that leap through the pages of "Auto-da-Fe," destined to consume Europe.

Samuel Agnon - Biography nobel Prize in literature 1966. Includes a link to his acceptance speech. http://nobelprize.org/literature/laureates/1966/agnon-bio.html
Extractions: HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970) was born in Buczacz, Eastern Galicia. Raised in a mixed cultural atmosphere, in which Yiddish was the language of the home, and Hebrew the language of the Bible and the Talmud which he studied formally until the age of nine, Agnon also acquired a knowledge of German literature from his mother, and of the teachings of Maimonides and of the Hassidim from his father. In 1907 he left home and made his way to Palestine, where, except for an extended stay in Germany from 1913 to 1924, he has remained to this day. At an early age, Agnon began writing the stories which form a chronicle of the decline of Jewry in Galicia. Included among these is his first major publication, Hakhnasat Kalah (The Bridal Canopy), 1922, which re-creates the golden age of Hassidism, and his apocalyptic novel, Oreach Nata Lalun (A Guest for the Night), 1939, which vividly depicts the ruin of Galicia after the First World War. Nearly all of his other writings are set in his adopted Palestine and deal with the replacement of the early Jewish settlement of that country by the more organized Zionist movement after the Second World War. The early pioneer immigrants are portrayed in his epic Temol Shilshom (Only Yesterday), 1945, considered his greatest work, and also in the nightmarish stories of
Extractions: Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, was also a great industrialist. In 1863, Nobel developed the Nobel patent detonator, which detonated nitroglycerin using a strong shock rather than heat. In 1865, the Nobel Company built the first factory for producing nitroglycerin. This led to the establishment of many factories around the world. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel moved with his family as a youngster to St. Petersburg where he was tutored privately by leading university professors. After the Crimean War, the family returned to Sweden. Nobel developed many improvements in explosives, and he held 355 patents in different countries in electrochemistry, optics, biology, and physiology. Upon his death, his will provided that the bulk of his fortune go to a fund that would award prizes annually for advancements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.
