Description As Books The Man Without A Country

"The Man without a Country" is a short story by American writer, Edward Everett Hale, first published during the height of the Civil War during 1863 by the leading American literary magazine of the nineteenth century, The Atlantic. It is the story of an American Army Lieutenant Philip Nolan, who gets entangled with Aaron Burr in 1807, and renounces his country during his trial for treason, saying he never wanted to hear about the United States again. The Judge asks him to recant but Nolan doesn't. So the Judge granted his request and the rest of his life Nolan spent on Navy ships around the world. The officers and crew were not allowed to mention the United States. This story came out during the height of the Civil War and served to help the Union recruit soldiers and people to their cause. It is noteworthy that Edward Everett Hale's Uncle, Edward Everett, than man he was named after, gave the two hour featured address at Gettysburg just before Lincoln's speech of 209 words and two minutes, that became the best acknowledged speech in American life. Everett, like Hale, was a total patriot and honest man, and immediately congratulated Lincoln on his fine accomplishment, "You have done far better in your two minutes than I did in my 2 hours." "The Man without a Country" is still considered a major American work and read widely in American schools.. A quiet calm read letting the story speak for itself.

Criticize Of Books The Man Without A Country

As a book on the discard shelf of a high school library, expectations were not high, but it proved to be a satisfying read for a book written in 1863. As an American and a patriotic countrymen, Hales story definitely pulled on the heartstrings. It is definitely a tale catered to his time when considering the cultural climate in the United States in 1863. However, I think the story would work for a patriot of any country - the message being universal. While the first half moved slowly, mostly due

One of my all time favorites, I have read this book at least a dozen times. It has alot of meaning to me. You dont relize how important something or somene till you lose them and can never see them again



A slender volume. An excellently told tale. Hale wrote this book in the middle of the Civil War to inspire patriotism. My version is a 50th anniversary reprint published a few years before the author's death with a forward by him and a few revisions. Although the book's purpose is political, it is an interesting story, well written, and engaging.

I have a very old collector's copy of this book. The volume is so old, it has no ISBN. Part of the attraction to read it (again) was to add it to my list of books completed for a reading challenge. But I've kept the book just because I enjoy the idea of the story so much. I realized today that I started/finished it just in time for our Independence Day celebration here in the States.

An excellent story about a man forced to never hear about his country again. Told through another character we hear about him struggling with not going home, the lengths people went not to tell him and a final reveal of what he thought about America.

Old fashioned nationalism, without rhyme or reason - written to encourage people to take a certain point of view towards the States that seceded from the Union in 1861. An ok read, but not really anything special. The balance of stories are below average.
