About this audiobook
The Nobel Prize is much lauded and very difficult to secure. In this volume we list ten of its winners over the decades who were famed for their literature. The prize is given with an emphasis on its contribution to literature and its influence in the world and for the individual, more usually, for the body of work created.
So, whilst none of the stories in this volume were winners in their own right, their authors most certainly were. They perfectly illustrate both the nature and mastery of the writing and the power and the purpose set within its storied prose.

W B Yeats
William Butler Yeats was born in 1865 in County Dublin. With his much-loved early poems such as 'The Stolen Child', and 'He Remembers Forgotten Beauty', he defined the Celtic Twilight mood of the late-Victorian period and led the Irish Literary Renaissance. Yet his style evolved constantly, and he is acknowledged as a major figure in literary modernism and twentieth-century European letters. T. S. Eliot described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. W. B. Yeats died in 1939.
