predicted three years ago that
Orhan Pamuk would win the Nobel prize within ten years
- and on October 11, 2006 he won it! This is a difficult but impressive

Nobel Prize for Literature
The first
international award given yearly since 1901 for achievements
in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. The
prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma, and a prize
amount. The Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded not to a
book itself, but to a writer, hence the expression 'Nobel
Laureate', given to the winner of the prize.
