The Winners

A funny, frightening and richly lyrical philosophical thriller, this new reissue sees Cortazar's back in print for the first time in decades. When a group of Argentinians win a mysterious lottery, their prize – a luxury cruise – seems too good to question. But as the voyage unfolds, strange and unsettling events begin to mount. The passengers find themselves trapped aboard a ship run by a silent, secretive crew, and the true nature of their journey grows ever more uncertain. Funny, frightening, and richly lyrical, is a philosophical thriller of tangled fates and wayward love – an incisive meditation on power, exile, and the myth of the New World.
