Winner Take Nothing.

“You may not believe this. No one believes this, but it is true": First Edition of Ernest Hemingway's Winner Take Nothing

Winner Take Nothing.

HEMINGWAY, Ernest.

Item Number: 90434

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933.

First edition of Hemingway’s third collection of short stories. Octavo, original black cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing. Tasteful bookplate to the pastedown. A very nice example.

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.
