  • It is the fourth week of my reading challenge - to read all 120 winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature before the 2024 winner is announced.
    In week four of the 120 Nobels reading challenge I introduce you to the Nobel Prizes of the turbulent twenties - from Benavente in 1922 to Undset in 1928.
    You will discover some hidden connections to George Orwell, Animal Farm, and the famous Audrey Hepburn film from 1964, My Fair Lady.
    More details, links to all texts and resources are available at my substack - jeffrich.substack.com. Free to join.
    My 120 Nobels Challenge series on substack will show you how the Nobel Prize is a window onto on understanding the world history, world literature and geopolitics.
    You can chat with me about the 120 Nobels Reading Challenge on the Burning Archive channel RUclips channel comments section and more exclusively at jeffrich.substack.com
    Subscribe to my free weekly email to receive insights from world history in a weekly essay on Saturday at jeffrich.substack.com

    Everything falls apart, centre and periphery, eventually. Nothing is forever.

    Very enjoyable. This run down triggered lots of memories for me. I had both GB Shaw’s Pygmalion and Saint Joan as set texts in high school in the 1970s. While concurrently covering the Weimar Republic in history class.

      It is so interesting to compare the treatment of the 1920s in British, American and German television - say Downton Abbey, Great Gatsby and Babylon Berlin!. Thanks for the comment

    I've just come upon this video. Thank you, algorithm! What an interesting idea. I'll be fascinated to read your overall conclusions. I've picked up a number of these prize-winners over the years and thought they were, at best, Of Their Time. I have subscribed.😊

    it greatly elucidates the human nature of writers and philosophers . Just subscribed to the channel. As for the Nobel winner who also won an Academy Award, I know Bob Dylan, who controversially won the the Nobel prize for Literature in 2016, had won an Academy Award for Best Original Song (Things have Changed) for the movie Wonder Boys,

      @@theburningarchive Dear Jeff, I am flattered by your interest, perhaps in the near future I will be able to participate more actively in your excellent interventions. My country's literature is extraordinary, rich, underestimated and unknown outside of it. Finding The Burning Archive was one of the best finds in recent times. I am a self-taught person, a voracious reader since early childhood. Despite being born in the interior of Brazil, I lived in Europe and Central America for more than 10 years. My area of ​​interest is my entire planet with everything that travels with it.
      I think it's a shame that the real pandemic is the cognitive dysfunction that leads even the most intelligent and capable to not look at others.
      Lucky for us we have some beacons like you to lessen the feeling of being alone.
      A fraternal hug from BraZil

    Bob Dylan is the only other person than GBS to win both an Oscar and a Nobel Prize in Literature; quite a decline in both prizes.

    In what way was the USA the ‘child’ of the Spanish Empire as it broke away from the British Empire?

      Good question. I was being a bit cryptic but referring to Felipe Fernandez-Armesto's history of the USA, shaped by Spain as well as Britain You can watch my interview with Felipe here ruclips.net/video/8zkd0Bax9Xo/видео.html We discuss this issue but I can't recall timestamp
