Narration 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.

Evaluation Regarding Books The Man Without A Country

This classic was first published in 1863. It is a tale about an Army Lieutenant who angrily denounces his country during his treason trial. One rash exclamation prevents him from ever seeing America or his family again. Edward Everett Hale wrote the story in hopes of increasing patriotism during the Civil War especially when the Confederate seemed to be winning. Interestingly, Edward's father was the nephew of Nathan Hale.



The Man Without a Country is a short story published during the American Civil War. The main character is tried for treason and is sentenced to live the rest of his life at sea aboard a ship, and is not allowed to hear a word about his country, the United States. The story sinks home the importance of being loyal to family home, and country. Available free for devices as it's in the public domain.

I read this at sea on a US Naval warship. A little ironic..

As my 2016 July 4th Independence Day project, I decided to re-read the short story The Man Without a Country for the first time in many years, and I was pleased to find the narrative still haunting, the plight of its unfortunate hero still moving, and his devotion to the idea of The United States of America still an inspiration. Now, in 2018, with "red" states and "blue" states even more sharply divided, and the president himself eager to sow yet further division between them, the concept of the

I liked the message of this book (that one's liberties as a USA citizen should not be taken for granted), but found it a very difficult book to read -- it has old style wording, no chapters or breaks, and often the story jumped from one person/context to another with little warning. This is a book on my son's 8th grade reading list -- if he can persevere through the language/wording issues to finish it, I think it will be very worthwhile. I'm glad I've read it, if only to help him process and

This was written to inspire loyalty and patriotism during the Civil War. Oh, my goodness! It still has that effect today! It is the tear-jerking story of this man, a sailor, who makes a rash wish that "he wishes he would never hear again of America." His punishment is just that. And for the next 50 years he must bear the punishment of that rash wish. Very, very good!
