The first prizes were awarded in l900-0l they are presented in the Fall. some early scientific Nobelists include Madame Marie Curie (two time winner- physics and chemistry) first physics prize went to Roentgen, the German scientist who discovered X-rays, which of course have medical applications, the man responsible for the modern EKG, Einthoven,a Dutch physician-cum-technology type was awarded the medical Nobel for his invention in the twenties.. as far as literature goes, the Nobel prize is a lifetime-career type thing, and not an award for a single tome- unlike the Pulitizer- thus there are no repeat awardees. some literary prize winners include Kipling in l907-he was the youngest literature prizeman- according to Guinesss, Hemingway and Steinbeck both won the literature prizes, rare among American popular authors/ to the best of my knowledge no detective fiction or Science Fiction writer has EVER been awarded the Nobel prize for Literature.. look things up on this Nobel frontier. The Peace prize is the only won that can be A. awarded to an organizational body- such as Unicef, Doctors without Borders, and Amnesty International , also Red Cross a number of times- different agencies within this org. It also has been awarded posthumously- as in the case of Dag Hammarkskhold . The diplomat was killed in an African plane crash that may or may not have been accidental. His was the only posthumous award in the history of the Nobel prizes- and it was a peace prize.
