　　French writer Le Clezio won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy announced Thursday．

　　The Academy cited Le Clezio as “author of new departures and poetic adventure, explorer of humanity beyond civilization．”

　　Le Clezio, 48, received much attention with his first novel The Interrogation in 1963 and made the breakthrough as a novelist with Desert in 1980, for which he was rewarded a prize from the French Academy．

　　This novel Desert contains magnificent images of a lost culture in the North African desert, contrast with a description of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants, the Swedish Academy said in the statement．

　　The emphasis in Le Clezio’s work has increasingly moved in the direction of an exploration of the world of childhood and of his own family history, the academy added．

　　Le Clezio was born 1940 in Nice of France, but both parents had strong family connections with the former French colony Mauritius．At the age of eight, he moved to Nigeria with his family．During the month-long voyage to Nigeria, he began his literary career with two books Un long voyage and Oradi noir．

　　He has taught at universities in Bangkok, Mexico City, Boston, Austin and Albuquerque among other places．Since the 1990s, Le Clezio and his wife share their time between Albuquerque in New Mexico, the island of Mauritius and Nice．

　　This was the fourth of the prestigious Nobel Prizes handed out this year, with awards in chemistry, physics and medicine made in the past three days．

　　The Nobel Prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who “conferred(给予)the greatest benefit on mankind during the preceding year．”

　　The annual Nobel Prizes are usually announced in October and are handed out on Dec．10, the anniversary of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite．

　　Each prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma and a cash award of 10 million Swedish kronor(1.4 million U．S．dollars)．

D

Word came on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, and he would join the ranks of history's great persons as the newest Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Nobel prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who bought the greatest benefit to mankind during the previous year.” Quite a lot of people have been awarded the prize, such as Mother Theresa, Ghandi, FDR …

On Oct. 9, Friday, Obama said that he was surprised to learn that he won the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009, which he saw as a “call for action.” Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden of the White House, he said he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to accept the award and didn't view it as recognition of his own accomplishments. He also said he would travel to Oslo to accept the prize on Dec. 10.

Rather, the prize should be regarded as recognition of the goals he set for the United States and the world. “I will accept this award as a call for action, a call for all nations to face up to the common challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said, “the challenges, including nuclear nonproliferation(防止核扩散), fighting against climate change and energy crisis, can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That is why I have been working to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.” he said.

Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third sitting president to do so. “The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall”

Reactions to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed both in and out of the United States. Some like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2002, said Obama's award is “a bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment to peace and harmony in international relations.” However, Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983, questioned whether Obama deserved it now. And U.S. Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele remarked that Obama won the prize as a result of his star power rather than meaningful accomplishments and the real question Americans were asking was what he has actually accomplished. “So soon and too early. He has done nothing but joy ride and give teleprompter (讲词提示机) speeches so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” said Walesa, a netizen.
