The Nobel Prize in Literature 2011 - Tomas Tranströmer

Nobel prize for literature goes to Swedish Poet Tomas Tranströmer.

Tranströmer is well known internationally, translated into over 50 languages and "one of the world's now living poet that has been translated the most."
The last Swede to win the literature Nobel was in 1974, when the Swedish authors Eyvind Johnson and Harry Martinson took the prize jointly.
