"Alfred Nobel was not a happy person. His many private letters confirm the picture of a lonely, ascetic man in bad health, burdened with work and hypochondria. He was a man of high morals, often helpful but never showing off. He shunned high society, and ridiculed vanity and outward fineries. Politically and in religious issues, he was a radical." (INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF THE RED CROSS) The author, a descendent of Alfred Nobel's brother Ludvig, traces the history of Alfred Nobel and examines his last will and testament, which served as the foundation of the Nobel Prize awards.
