  • "Hemingway won the Nobel prize for Literature in 1954 for the lod man and the sea."
  • "Fourteen of Hemingway's finest short stories illuminate his keen perception of human nature as well as his prowess in this genre."@en
  • ""'Unlike all other forms of lutte or combat, ' Hemingway wrote, 'the conditions [of gaming] are such that the winner shall take nothing; neither his ease, nor his pleasure, nor any nations of glory, nor, if he win far enough, shall there be any reward within himself.' Published in 1933, [these] ... fourteen short stories in 'Winner take nothing' contain 'just the hint of Hemingway's acceptance of the human situation, ' as his biographer, Carlos Baker, remarked. They also contain some of his best writing in the short-story genre since 'In our time.'""
  • "Ernest Hemingway's first new book of fiction since the publication of "A Farewell to Arms" in 1929 contains fourteen stories of varying length. Some of them have appeared in magazines but the majority have not been published before. The characters and backgrounds are widely varied. "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is about an old Spanish Beggar. "Homage to Switzerland" concerns various conversations at a Swiss railway-station restaurant. "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio" is laid in the accident ward of a hospital in Western United States, and so on. Ernest Hemingway made his literary start as a short-story writer. He has always excelled in that medium, and this volume reveals him at his best."@en

  • "Written when Hemingway was at the height of his creative powers, the stories in Winner Take Nothing glow with the mark of his unique talent. Hunters, wives, old men of wisdom, waiters, fighters, women loved, women lost: they are all here, living on the raw edge, making love, facing the inevitable reality of death. The characters, the dialogue, the settings, the remarkable insight could have come only from Hemingway's imagination. As an introduction to his work, or as an overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection."
