À propos de cet audio

The Man Without a Country is a novella or long short story by Edward Everett Hale, first published in 1863 but set in the early 19th century. The narrative is an allegory about the upheaval of the Civil War and was intended to promote the Union cause. It tells the tale of Lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a treason trial. He refuses when asked to recant, so the judge grants his request, and Nolan spends the rest of his life on the high seas being transported from one Navy ship to another. Thus, Nolan painfully learns the true worth and meaning of his country and gets to miss it more than anything else in the world. The revelation of his room on the USS Levant, and the description of his death, are deeply moving.
