But it was too late for him to anticipate its catastrophic global effects. Just two weeks before he passed away in 1895, Nobel established a fund to be used for distributing awards to those who had made significant contributions to society, since he would rather not be known as the creator of dynamite. Poetry, science, medicine, and peace were the original five categories. Added in 1968 was economics. Exactly sixty-seven years subsequent to the inaugural awards presentation. The Nobel Peace Prize varies in value from $30,000 to $125,000 and is based on interest paid on an initial bequest of $9 million. On December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the victors are given with the wards—a golden medal, an illuminated certificate, and money—every year. The judges' rulings are occasionally influenced by politics. Although Americans have won a plethora of science honors, they have fared far worse when it comes to literature.
