1958 Nobel Prize in Literature Announcement
by Anders Österling, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy
Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen:
This year’s Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded by the Swedish Academy to the Soviet-Russian writer Boris Pasternak for his notable achievement in both contemporary poetry and the field of the great Russian narrative tradition.
As is well known, Pasternak has sent word that he does not wish to accept the distinction. This refusal, of course, in no way alters the validity of the award. There remains only for the Academy, however, to announce with regret that the presentation of the Prize cannot take place.
