1949 William Faulkner. I could swear that I've read his short stories somewhere along the line, but I don't remember them well. So I'm going to read As I Lay Dying. 1948 T.S. Eliot: My modern poetry professor was a BIG Eliot fan, trudging his reluctant troops through The Waste Land. I'm fairly certain that he and Hemingway were fishing buddies. 1947 André Paul Guillaume Gide: The Immoralist 1946 Hermann Hesse: Siddhartha. Read this one in high school, when we were totally into finding ourselves. Self found, other books to read. 1945 Gabriela Mistral: A Gabriela Mistral Reader 1944 Johannes Vilhelm Jensen 1943 The prize money was with 1/3 allocated to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1942 The prize money was with 1/3 allocated to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1941 The prize money was with 1/3 allocated to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1940 The prize money was with 1/3 allocated to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1939 Frans Eemil Sillanpaa 1938 Pearl Buck: The Good Earth--One of my all-time favorites. Off to the library, you 1937 Roger Martin du Gard: Oh, for crying out loud--the book on which his award is based is UNFINISHED, and it's 777 pages long. It has nice reviews and all, but sheesh...Lieutenant-Colonel de Maumort, we'll fit you in if we have time. 1936 Eugene Gladstone O'Neill: The Iceman Cometh 1935 The prize money was with 1/3 allocated to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1934 Luigi Pirandello: The Oil Jar and Other Stories 1933 Ivan Alekseyvich Bunin: The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories 1932 John Galsworthy 1931 Erik Axel Karlfeldt 1930 Sinclair Lewis: Main Street 1929 Thomas Mann: Death in Venice and Seven Other Stories 1928 Sigrid Undset: first woman to win the prize, Kristin Lavransdatter : The Bridal Wreath. This is the first in a trilogy, and I dig Medieval lit, so I'm on this one. Woo-hoo! 1927 Henri Bergson: The Creative Mind : An Introduction to Metaphysics. This will be fun, like getting a hot poker in the eye. Why am I doing this again? 1926 Grazia Deledda: first Italian woman to win the Nobel, I had a difficult time choosing which book to read. Sounds like good stuff.Reeds in the Wind 1925 George Bernard Shaw: I don't know that we can get English degrees--or even out of high school--without seeing him on a reading list. I loved Saint Joan. If you get the chance, check it out. Saint Joan : A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue 1924 Wladyslaw Stanislaw Reymont 1923 William Butler Yeats: Again, can't leave school without him. He's certainly not a favorite of mine, but I was always intrigued by his Maud Gonne (ironic name when you think about it, eh?) poems. The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats 1922 Jacinto Benavente 1921 Anatole France: Hmm, is all I can say. The reviews don't look good. The Gods Will Have Blood : Les Dieux Ont Soif . People are blaming the translators. I don't think I'd want to be literary translator. Seems kind of thankless. 1920 Knut Pedersen Hamsun: Hunger 1919 Carl Friedrich Georg Spitteler 1918 The prize money was allocated to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1917 Karl Adolph Gjellerup, Henrik Pontoppidan 1916 Carl Gustaf Verner von Heidenstam 1915 Romain Rolland 1914 The prize money was allocated to the Special Fund of this prize section. 1913 Rabindranath Tagore: India's only Nobel winner, poet, Gitanjali 1912 Gerhart Johann Robert Hauptmann: playwright, Three Plays : The Weavers, Hannele, the Beaver Coat 1911 Count Maurice (Mooris) Polidore Marie Bernhard Maeterlinck: a playwright who also wrote this interesting-sounding history of religion. The Great Secret 1910 Paul Johann Ludwig Heyse 1909 Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlof: He was commissioned to write a geography book for children, so wrote this geography of Sweden in the form of a folk tale. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils 1908 Rudolf Christoph Eucken 1907 Rudyard Kipling: Kim 1906 Giosue Carducci 1905 Henryk Sienkiewicz: novels and short stories, Charcoal Sketches and Other Tales 1904 Frédéric Mistral, José Echegaray Y Eizaguirre 1903 Bjørnstjerne Martinus Bjørnson 1902 Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen: Mommsen won the Nobel for this one piece of literature. When you check the price, I think you'll understand why we won't be reading this book in the Den. Theodor Mommsen's History of Rome 1901 Sully Prudhomme how about 1950-2000? |
