    Is this who the Nobel Peace Prize is named for?
  • Craig Jenkins said:
    Yes - a man who made his fortune on dynamite and weapons :) As Bart would say, the ironing is delicious.

H. Sienkewicz [i.e. Henryk Síenkíewicz] (LOC)

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Henryk Sinekiewicz (1846-1916; ck spelling), Polish journalist. Here's his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_Sienkiewicz
  • Wystan said:
    Author of (among other works) the novel, "Quo Vadis?" which was made into a 1950s Hollywood blockbuster. In 1905, he had won the Nobel Prize for literature, which is granted not for a specific work, but for the entire body of an author's literary achievement.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    pennylrichardsca and Wystan, Thanks for the additional information on Henryk Sienkiewicz. We will get his name corrected and add more detail to the record when we update.
  • Haakon von Martinsky said:
    After 34 months his name is still not correct! SIENKIEWICZ!!!
  • The Library of Congress said:
    It looks like we put his full name in a note but didn't provide the [i.e. Henryk Síenkíewicz] in the title. That's fixed now, with apology for the delay. --Helena (LOC)
