============================================================ STOCKHOLM, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Nobel Prize in Literature 2010 was awarded to Mario Vargas Llosa "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat," announced Peter Englund, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy. Last year's literature prize went to German writer Herta Muller. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday and the economics award next Monday. Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite, established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895. The first awards were handed out six years later. Besides the 10 million Swedish kronor (1.47 million US dollars) prize, each award includes a diploma, a gold medal and an invitation to the prize ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10. The peace prize is handed out in Oslo. (news.xinhua.net) | ||||
