The prizes are given to honor great discoveries or special achievements by individuals or institutions. The fields in which the prizes are awarded are physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology （the study of living things）, literature, world peace and economics.The prizes were first given out in 1901 （except the economics prize, which began only in 1969） and since then they have been presented almost every year. The winners received a large sum of money, a medal and a certificate. They are admired and respected around the world for their hard work and the achievements they have made.The prizes were created by a Swedish chemist called Alfred Nobel. Nobel was born in 1833, in Sweden. However, he was educated in Russia and the USA. Nobel devoted much of his life to his fathers business, working with explosives. In 1864, his younger brother and several other people were killed in an explosion in a factory. After the terrible shock of his brothers death, Nobel was determined to discover a way of making explosives safer to handle and use. He believed in the importance of his work, and he worked hard. In 1867, his hard work paid off, and he invented “dynamite”, a safer form of explosive.Dynamite made Nobel very rich. When he died in 1896, he left around 9 million dollars. In his will, Nobel said that he wanted this money to be used to pay for annual prizes to be given to people who had done the most good for mankind each year. He also said that the nationality of the winners did not matter. The prizes were to be given to the people or institutions who had achieved the most regardless of which country they were from. 9.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them. She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race.

There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse（唤起）peoples sympathies（同情）。The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave.
