About This Item
1933 1ed Ernest Hemingway Winner Take Nothing Classic American Short Stories
'Winner Take Nothing' was Ernest Hemingway's first new book of fiction following the publication of "A Farewell to Arms" in 1929 – a book which contains fourteen stories. Some of them have appeared in magazines, but the majority had not been published before.
This work follows the stories of a variety of strange characters - "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.

• After the storm
• Clean, well-lighted place

• The mother of a queen
• One reader writes
