The Nobel Prize for literature recognizes modern classics and the efforts of authors to bridge gaps between different cultures, time-periods and styles.(1991) N GORDIMER ? who through her magnificent epic writing has ? in the words of Alfred Nobel ? been of very great benefit to humanity; (1992) D WALCOTT ? for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment; (1993) T MORRISON ? who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality; (1994) K OE ? who with poetic force creates an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today; (1995) S HEANEY ? for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past. |
