Alfred
Nobel’s will, its rejection and acceptance has far greater
audience than audience for Nobel's Prize
On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his third and
last will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris. When
it was opened and read after his death, the will caused
a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally,
as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment
of a prize. His family opposed the establishment of the
Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused to
do what he had requested in his will. It was five years
before the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.
