What happened on October21, 1833?
Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt man, but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive, dynamite, to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842. Most of the family returned to Sweden in 1859. He had never been to school or university but had studied privately. He was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business and showed more financial sense. His greatest wish was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause until his death in Italy in 1896.
