Introduction
Alfred
B. Nobel (1833-1896) was the Swedish chemist who invented dynamite and established
in his will the Nobel prizes for Peace, Literature, Physics, Chemistry,
Medicine and Economics. Nobel’s desire was to offer a prize "to
those who during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit
to mankind."
Over
the years, French scientists, writers and humanitarians have won each
of the coveted awards, and you are about to be instrumental in adding
to their numbers. Beginning this year, the Nobel Foundation wishes to
create some posthumous prizes for men and women whose contribution to
the world occurred before the establishment of the Nobel Prizes, and to
offer prizes in certain fields yet to be acknowledged. They have asked
you to nominate a French person, famous or obscure, without whom our modern
world would have been affected for the worse. You will be asked to provide
details about the person’s early years and background, the period
in which they lived, their contribution to the world and its significance
at that time and now, and to state in clear terms why you think that they
deserve this high honour.
