Abstract: the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 has been awarded to Bob Dylan, an American rock singer and folk poet. It comes as a big surprise, even though the winner has been nominated repeatedly.

The cemetery dates back to the mid-1930′s and is the creation of the local folk artist Stan Ioan Patras, sculptor, painter and poet rolled in one.
