Equally important to our understanding of history and humanity are the great works of literature. The Nobel Prize for literature recognises modern classics and the efforts of authors to bridge gaps between different cultures, time-periods and styles; the prizewinners between 1968 and 1995 are from four continents. These volumes are collections of the Nobel lectures delivered by the prizewinners, together with their biographies, portraits and presentation speeches for the period 1968 - 1995. Each Nobel lecture is based on the work that won the laureate his prize. New biographical data of the laureates, since they were awarded the Nobel prize, are also included. These volumes of inspiring lectures by outstanding individuals should be on everyone's bookshelf. (1991) Nadine Gordimer -- who through her magnificent epic writing has, in the words of Alfred Nobel, been of very great benefit to humanity; (1992) Derek Walcott -- for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment; (1993) Toni Morrison -- who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality; (1994) Kenzaburo Oe -- who with poetic force creates an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today; (1995) Seamus Heaney -- for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.
