The Will - A Slide Show
On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament in Paris. Among its four closely-written pages, less than one referred to the donation which was destined to link his name with the supreme achievements of the modern world in science and literature, and the causes for peace.
This 17-minute slide show is based on the book "The Legacy of
Alfred Nobel. The Story Behind the Nobel Prizes," written by
Ragnar Sohlman, who was named by Alfred Nobel as one of two
testators to his will.
"The Will" is divided into 14 chapters, marking the major events
and circumstances leading to the awarding of the first Nobel
Prizes. The narration follows a chronological order and it is
advisable to see the presentation from beginning to end without
jumping between chapters. You may however, go back to any desired
chapter whenever you want to. It takes at least 12 seconds to
restart a chapter.
