On Not Winning the Nobel Prize: The Nobel Lecture – Doris Lessing (Limited to 500 Copies)

Description

– The lecture was delivered by Nicholas Pearson on behalf of Doris Lessing at the Swedish Academy, Stockholm on 7 December 2007

“‘On not winning the Nobel prize’ features an extended metaphor on prize-winning, and how this can only be achieved through access to books and education. Throughout her speech, Doris Lessing conveys the struggles of individuals in Africa, and their deprivation of the basic right to be educated. Lessing urges the audience to take action and transform the access to education that least developed regions of the world have, compared to the most developed areas. Through highlighting the stark differences between different regions of the world, Lessing demonstrates how this change can occur.”
