    The 2018 and 2019 Nobel Prizes in Literature were announced by the Swedish Academy on October 10 for Polish author Olga Tokarczuk and Austrian author Peter Handke.

    The award committee said that the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to author Peter Handke "for a work influenced by language proficiency that has discovered the peripheral and unique features of the human experience".

    According to the committee, the unique thing is that the Austrian author paid special attention to the landscape and material presence of the world, in which cinema and art were his two great sources of inspiration.

    He was born in 1942 in the village of Griffen, Karnten in southern Austria. This is also the birthplace of his mother - Maria - a minority Slovenia.

    Meanwhile, the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to author Olga Tokarczuk for his imagination, along with his great passion for knowledge, expressing his journeys to transcome borders as a form of life.

    The Polish author won the Man Booker International award for the novel "Flights".

    She was born in 1962 in Sulechow, Poland and currently lives in Wroclaw. She debuted as a novelist in 1993 with the work "Podroz ludzi Księgi".
