He went through many ups and downs during his life. He invented dynamite, a controllable explosive, which greatly enhanced the pace of industrialization by accelerating the process of construction of roads, railways, canals, bridges, tunnels, dams and other structures, and the digging of mines. His business swelled and spread to many parts of the globe. He braved many adverse situations including poor health and frequent factory explosions, one of which took the life of his young brother, hostilities and criticisms. At the same time he earned a huge fortune. He set aside most of his wealth to institute awards, now known as Nobel Prizes. Nobel was not only a prolific inventor (with 355 patents), but also was endowed with literary talent.
