Alfred Nobel began his career as a brilliant inventor and industrialist, but his inventions—particularly the creation of dynamite—brought him more anguish than satisfaction. Though his scientific achievements earned him fortune and fame, Nobel became deeply troubled by the destructive uses of his work. Branded the "merchant of death" in a premature obituary, he was haunted by the legacy he feared he would leave behind.
Determined to change how the world would remember him, Nobel took action. In his final will, he left the majority of his fortune to establish the Nobel Prizes—awards meant to recognize and encourage humanity's highest achievements in science, literature, and peace. This book explores the complex life of a man driven by innovation, remorse, and a desire to leave behind something truly meaningful.
