Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Nobel, Dynamite and Peace" offers an intimate and authoritative look into the complex life of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist and engineer whose name is synonymous with both the destruction of war and the celebration of human achievement. Written by Ragnar Sohlman, Nobel's close associate and the executor of his will, this work provides a firsthand account of the man behind the legendary Nobel Prizes. The book explores Nobel's invention of dynamite and its profound impact on 19th-century industry and warfare, while also delving into his internal struggle and ultimate dedication to the cause of international peace.Readers will discover the intricacies of Nobel's scientific genius, his philosophical reflections, and the dramatic story behind the establishment of the world's most prestigious awards. By detailing the personal and professional challenges Nobel faced, "Nobel, Dynamite and Peace" captures the duality of a visionary who sought to balance the power of modern explosives with a legacy of intellectual and humanitarian progress.
