Nobel Prize in Literature 2025 awarded to Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai
The Nobel committee of the Swedish Academy has awarded the literature prize 117 times to 121 people since its establishment. Last year’s award went to South Korean novelist Han Kang, known for a series of works that “confront historical traumas and reveal the fragility of human life,” according to the committee.
This year’s literature prize follows the announcements of the 2025 Nobel Prize winners in medicine, physics and chemistry. The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday; US President Donald Trump is seen as an unexpected candidate, despite his recent remarks to United Nations delegates that “everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize.”
The final award of the season, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, will be announced on Monday.
All Nobel Prizes were officially presented on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896. Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite, established the awards to honor outstanding contributions to humanity.
Each award winner receives 11 million Swedish krona (approximately 1.2 million dollars) as well as an 18-carat gold medal and diploma.
