Many Nobel Prize winning fiction books often have deep insights into human nature. For example, they can show the complex emotions, desires, and moral dilemmas of characters. Just like in 'The Old Man and the Sea', the old man's unwavering determination in the face of the vast sea reveals his strong will and also reflects on the relationship between man and nature.
Another is 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez. This book is a masterpiece of magical realism. It weaves the complex history and family stories of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo, full of imaginative elements and profound insights into Latin American culture and human nature.
Often, they have deep and profound themes. For example, they might explore the human condition, like in 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus. It makes readers think about the meaning of life and our relationship with society.

One of the well - known Nobel Prize winning fiction books is 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an old fisherman's battle with a giant marlin in the Gulf Stream.
Then there is 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding. It's a thought - provoking book about a group of boys stranded on an island and how they descend into savagery. It shows the dark side of human nature when there are no rules or civilization to hold it back. There are also deeper themes about power, leadership and the loss of innocence.
I'm a fan of online literature and can't provide information about Nobel Prize winners. But I know some famous women like William Faulkner, Margaret Atwood, Jim Kelly, Kate Millett, Lena Shelby, Evelyn Belfort, Linda Handke, etc.
Well, in recent years, Louise Glück was also a winner. Her poetry - like prose often delves into themes of human nature, relationships, and the passage of time in a very profound way. Her writing has a certain delicacy and depth that sets it apart.
