Can you Provide some hints so that I can reach closer to the answer
Visiting your blog after years :) Nice question. Took me about 10 mins (7 mins of cheating and 3 mins of reading), but would have taken 20 mins without that shortcut. They both voluntarily refused to accept the Nobel Prize. Jean Paul Sartre and Le Duc Tho. The third was Boris Pasternak, who accepted, then declined under govt pressure, and it was finally given to his son.
Method: While both faces looked familiar, and the first was definitely an intellectual, I couldn't recall. At first glance, I thought Nobel prizes were involved given how culturally different the top two were. Assuming that and given that there were only 2 who shared the distinction, it suggested there was something I could discover with some Wiki work. Lazy bum that I am and to reduce risk of being wrong, instead I went looking for a reverse image search engine, and found one called tineye. It worked with all three images, but with the Vietnamese guy, the result gave me a match but not a name. So I got a bit misled thinking all 3 were literature recipients! So the Wiki spadework had to be done anyway...
