A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

United States, at different periods in the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. In the year 1863, a great deal of distrust expressed itself, even in some of the northern states, as to whether it were worth while for the North to make the sacrifices it was mak ing. In the state of Ohio, a prominent states man expressed himself with such contempt as to the national government, that General Burnside, who was in command of the national army in that region, sent him over the lines to the rebels, saying that he seemed to belong with them, rather than in his own country.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"The Man Without a Country" is a short story by American writer Edward Everett Hale, first published anonymously in The Atlantic in December 1863. The novel is the story of American army lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a trial for treason and is consequently sentenced to spend the rest of his days at sea without so much as a word of news about the United States. Although the story is set in the early 19th century, the story is an allegory about the upheaval of the American Civil War and was intended to promote the Union cause.
