Ernest Hemingway Boeken

Da Amerikaanse schrijver Ernest Hemingway (1898-1961) heeft door zijn manlijke sensitiviteit en zijn expressieve stijl een volstrekt eigen wereld geschapen, een wereld waarin de levensdrift op het menselijk tekort de overhand heeft. Op de na hem komende schrijvers heeft hij grote invloed uitgeoefend. In 1954 won hij de Nobelprijs voor letterkunde. "Wie wint krijgt niets" (Winner take nothing) toont de jonge Hemingway in zijn volle kracht. Het bevat korte schetsen, het genre waarin Hemingway onbetwist een van de grootste meesters van deze eeuw was. Zijn techniek, een uiterste vereenvoudiging van taal, gaat gepaard met de fijne gevoeligheid van de geboren schrijver, die erin slaagt sfeer én mensen met weinig woorden trefzeker weer te geven. "Wie wint krijgt niets" biedt een zeer gevarieerd beeld van Hemingways schrijverschap. Men vindt jeugdherinneringen, bittere schetsen uit de eerste wereldoorlog, verhalen met een zeer milde humor, en ook navrante en oneindig trieste beelden als dat van een Franse immigrantenfamilie. Maar steeds wordt men geboeid door Hemingways sublieme verteltalent.
