The prize - Two Worlds Collection 150

This is an American novel written in 1961 that focuses on the awarding of the well-known and famous Nobel Prizes. The book begins by meticulously describing the family and professional environment surrounding the characters who were awarded the Prize that year, which we deduce, from information provided throughout the text, to be the early 1960s – and only then does the action move to the Swedish capital, Stockholm, where the award ceremony will take place.
Once in Stockholm, the plot thickens with some incidents that occur during the events of Nobel Week.
