Chronicle In Favor Of 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.

Judge Containing Books The Man Without A Country

I vaguely remember this either being read or at least discussed when I was in elementary school. Im certain that like reciting the pledge of allegiance ever morning it was taught in an effort to instill patriotism and love of country. It all was so simple then, how did we ever get to the point that by promoting patriotism and pride in ones country is something that is wrong and shouldnt be done.Read from this collection The American Short Story

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

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

Even though I do not spend as much time with my computer these days, I still should have been able to finish this story quicker than I did. 10 April to 14 April for less than 50 pages?! WHY?For one thing, the author's own introduction repelled me and nearly made me change my mind about reading the story at all. I understand that he wrote the story during the United States Civil War, when the future held the possibility of no United States at all. But I have always had problems with anyone at any

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!

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.
