«To the victor goeth no gain» is a collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway, written in 1933. These are not stories of great victories; they are stories of everyday defeats. Hemingway describes the world around him briefly, sharply and accurately, noticing the smallest details, conveying subtle shades of feelings and experiences of his characters. Whether it's a conversation between a father and son, or chatter in a restaurant at the train station, conversations between kellers at a tavern or patients in a hospital ward, all these dialogues seem simple and ordinary at first, but it is thanks to them that the line between literature and life, between characters and real people, is blurred.
