Shaka (1787-22 de septiembre de 1828), también conocido como Shaka Zulú, nombre con el que suele aparecer con mayor frecuencia en los libros de historia, fue un jefe tribal zulú que a principios del siglo XIX inició un proceso que transformó a la pequeña tribu zulú en la nación guerrera más poderosa de África que se enfrentó con éxito al avance del Imperio británico desde el cabo de Buena Esperanza.

Poco antes de estallar la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), Sir Robert
Thorndyke fracasa en su intento de asesinar a Adolf Hitler. Tras ser
capturado y torturado por la Gestapo, consigue huir a Inglaterra, con
sus perseguidores pisándole los talones. Temiendo que el gobierno inglés
lo entregue a las autoridades alemanas, pone en marcha una batalla subterránea para librarse de sus perseguidores. Se inspira en una novela
que ya había sido llevada al cine por Fritz Lang: "Man Hunt".
In
less than a month, the Nobel Prize laureates of 2022 will be revealed.
Beginning on 3 October, we will be announcing the scientists, writers
and promoters of peace that have received this year’s prizes. The
announcements, which capture the world’s attention, are the culmination
of extensive work by the Nobel Committees, who must choose worthy
candidates from a vast field of nominees that are submitted by numerous
skilled people worldwide. After a long selection process, the four Nobel
Prize awarding institutions finally make their choice of laureates, who
– in keeping with the vision of Alfred Nobel – have conferred the
greatest benefit to humankind.
The
first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901 and have, with few exceptions,
been awarded annually since then. The Nobel Prize was set up when
businessman and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel died and left the majority of
his fortune to the establishment of prizes in physics, chemistry,
physiology or medicine, literature and peace. Do you want to know more
about the Nobel Prize? Find out in the FAQ!

There
is often speculation about who has been nominated for a Nobel Prize,
with names of candidates even appearing in the media. However, the Nobel
Committees do not announce the names of nominees, either to the media
or to the candidates themselves. Information about a given year’s
candidates and/or nominators is not released until 50 years have passed,
according to the 50-year secrecy rule. Available nominations are
collected in an online archive at nobelprize.org.
Early
one October morning, in a hotel room, Frances Arnold received a call to
say she had been awarded the Nobel Prize. “I was very surprised and
overwhelmed, terrified, happy, thrilled and bouncing off the walls,” she
recalled in an interview about the unforgettable call and what
receiving the Nobel Prize meant to her.
Arnold was awarded the 2018 chemistry prize for using the process of evolution to make new and better enzymes.
“I didn't understand the reason of all congratulations”
Hiroshi Amano.
Hiroshi
Amano was on a plane from Japan to Frankfurt when the word
“Congratulations” started to appear in his emails. However, with his
plane about to take off, he had no time to open and find out the reason
behind the messages. Not until he arrived at his final destination, did
he discover the explanation.
Amano was awarded the 2014 physics prize for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes.
“Robin and I often have a beer down by the riverside”
Barry Marshall
Barry
Marshall got the call in an Australian pub with his colleague Robin
Warren, where they went every year the day of the announcement. “I mean,
of course, we would always dream about winning the Nobel, but we never
really thought we would.”
Marshall and Warren were awarded the 2005 medicine prize for their
discovery of how stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria, not stress.
The
Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 28 times to organisations between
1901 and 2021. 25 individual organisations have been awarded, but only
one has been awarded the Nobel Prize three times. Do you know which one?
