Churchill was one of the acclaimed Nobel Prize awardees. Can you figure out in which discipline Sir Winston Churchill was given the Nobel Prize in 1953? Sir winston churchill had several multifarious talents. He was an amateur painter, had amazing writing talent and gave dynamic and significant contribution as a political figure and subsequently as prime minister and minister of defence for UK.

sir winston churchill took birth in 1874 in UK. After his studies and brief period of serving at the army, he became a conservative member of parliament in 1900, at a very young age of 26. For 3 decades, he took up charge in various high positions both in Liberal as well as Conservative governments.

In May 1940, he became the prime minister and defence minister and continued in this position until 1945. In 1951 he another time became prime minister before he took retirement from politics in 1955.

Winston churchill was a borne artist but he remained as amateur in this skill. Describing his painting hobby, he penned the book 'painting as a pastime' during 1948. He also wrote an autobiographical account about his young years - 'My early life' during 1930.

Churchill had admirable writing and conversational expertise. His broadcasts in the radio were motivational during the time of world war. During his early career, his election campaign reports were the first scholarly highlights.

Churchill's first and only Novel 'Savrola' was printed in 1900. Later he wrote the biography of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill. His another book of biography about the life of his great ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough became quite recognized. It ran into four volumes and was released between 1933 and 1938.

Churchill also wrote the world war I history with the name 'The World Crisis' in four volumes and his memories of world war II in six volumes. Churchill also wrote 'The history of the English speaking peoples' in four volumes after his retirement.

Churchill was nominated for Nobel Prize in 1953 for two categories - peace and literature. Most think he was awarded Nobel Prize for Peace, but he indeed got the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The Nobel award citation states that Churchill's award is "for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values".

What ever area he worked, he excelled and his great oratory skills were observable both in his literary work as well as in his speech and influenced many across the continents. He was called the man of the twentieth century by historians.

Winston Churchill was well known for his wit and wisdom, for which he has spontaneous inclination and here you can see him in action in this example:

Sir, If you were my husband, I would give you poison.

Churchill: 'If I were your husband, I would take it'.

It is very infrequent to see some one with many diverse skills like Winston churchill. And he just did not have many talents, he demonstrated excellence in all of them.
