Both Scientist and Humanitarian
Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen was an internationally recognised scientist whose work spanned zoology, oceanography and geology combined with a deep interest in history. He went on many adventures of exploration, including polar expeditions. But during the latter part of his life, the renowned scientist changed direction, and became engaged in diplomatic and humanitarian work. In 1922 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for helping refugees and prisoners of war.

Great Pioneers of Brain Research
Science is only just beginning to understand the brain's remarkable form of 'software' - the way it works as a whole to enable us to live and think - but an amazing series of Nobel Prize-awarded scientific breakthroughs have given us insight into its 'hardware'.

ノーベル賞の女性たち(ノーベル賞月報)

Pd. ノーベル賞作家ギュンター・グラス(ドイツ)が亡くなりました。


現ポーランド北部グダニスク(旧ダンチヒ)生まれのドイツ作家で、「ブリキの太鼓」などで著名な、ギュンター・グラスが昨日4月13日、独北部リューベックで感染症のため死去しました。享年87でした。
 1956年に詩人としてデビューし、その3年後、1959年に出版した上記「ブリキの太鼓」で、成長が3歳で止まっ た少年から見たナチス社会の歪みを描き、世界的な名声を得ました。この作品は映画化もされ、1980年の米アカデミー賞外国語映画賞に輝きました。1999年には ノーベル文学賞を受賞しました。「猫と鼠(ねずみ)」、「犬の年」など素晴しい作品を何作も著しました。
 戦後左派言論人の代表格として知られていましたが、2006年に発表した自伝的小説「タマネギをむきながら」で、 17歳の時にナチス親衛隊の軍事組織(武装SS)に所属したことを告白し、厳しい批判にさらされもしました。
 先年、2012年にはイスラエルの核兵器保有を批判する詩を掲載し、ナチスによるホロコースト(ユダヤ人大虐殺)の過去を持つドイツで「ユダヤ国家」のイスラエルを露骨に批判するのは異例で、大きな話題にもなりました。昨年、小説はこれ以上書かないと宣言していたが、...。Amen.
