Nobel Prize for Literature - a selection of key works

Add to my lists | Print this list

This prize is awarded for an author’s entire output, and not necessarily for any one book. I have included all the authors that I could locate books by (though an English translation is not always available).

During some years multiple authors were awarded, and during other years no award was given out.
