DETAILS
Alfred Nobel is the fascinating story of a man and his time.
Awarded biographer Ingrid Carlberg describes the impressive
and improbable life of the man whose name would be
to the most important price in the world. At the same time
this biography is a blistering representation of the Europe of the
nineteenth century, with its political developments, literary
wealth and brilliant scientists.
We follow Nobel from his shabby toddler years in Stockholm, through
his passage through Europe in the wake of his father, and see how
As an entrepreneur, he seized every opportunity that was offered to him.
He invented the dynamite, with all the consequences of
and then preached the peace. He aspired to a
literary career, but just like his love life came that
not off the ground. Nobel was, in short, a tormented man in
a dazzling time.
Carlberg delivered an impressive performance with this biography,
which she wrote with the ambition of a scientist and the guts of a narrative journalist.
