The people who outperform in their fields and have creative or intellectual achievements are honored by this prestigious award.<\/p>\n<p>Nobel Prize was initiated in 1901 and is given in honor of Alfred Nobel who was a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, businessman, and philanthropist. Since then it is the most prestigious award that outweighs all other awards. It sets the excellence status for generations to come. Nobel Prize is given for various fields including medicine, mathematics, chemistry, literature, peace, physiology, physics.<\/p>\n<p>Nobel Prize is given for literature as well. Literature is the field of study that continues to travel through time and space. It reveals the holistic picture of the society- historic, social, cultural, political, and economic fronts. By studying literature, one becomes capable of interpreting things in a manner which perhaps none but they can. Literature is not based on hard and fast rules. It accepts the individual perspectives, provided a due support to one\u2019s argument is presented.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a table representing the winners of Nobel Prize in literature, with the country winning the maximum awards on the top.<\/p>\n<table width=\"793\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"tbhead\">\n<td width=\"40\"><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"131\"><strong>Laureate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"237\"><strong>Country<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"109\"><strong>Language(s)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"276\"><strong>Genre(s)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1901<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Sully Prudhomme<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">poetry, essay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1904<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Mistral<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">Proven\u00e7al<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">poetry,\u00a0philology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1915<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Romain Rolland<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1921<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Anatole France<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, poetry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1927<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Henri Bergson<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">philosophy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1933<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Ivan Bunin<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France (Born in\u00a0Russian Empire)<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">Russian<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">short story, poetry, novel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1937<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Roger Martin du Gard<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1947<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Andr\u00e9 Gide<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, essay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1952<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Fran\u00e7ois Mauriac<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, short story<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1957<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Albert Camus<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France (Born in\u00a0French Algeria)<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, short story, drama, philosophy, essay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1960<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Saint-John Perse<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France (Born in Guadeloupe)<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">poetry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1964<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Jean-Paul Sartre<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, philosophy, drama, literary criticism, screenplay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">1985<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Claude Simon<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France (Born in\u00a0French Madagascar)<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">French<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">2000<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Gao Xingjian<\/td>\n<td width=\"237\">\u00a0France\u00a0(since 1998)\u00a0China\u00a0(1940\u20131998)<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">Chinese<\/td>\n<td width=\"276\">novel, drama,\u00a0literary criticism<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"firston\">\n<td width=\"40\">2008<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">J.
