The Man Without a Country

Edward Everett Hale’s The Man Without a Country is a poignant short story about Philip Nolan, a young army officer who, in a moment of recklessness, renounces his country during a treason trial. Sentenced to a life at sea, he experiences the profound consequences of exile and comes to understand the deep significance of national identity and belonging. This audiobook, narrated by Burt Glendower, revives Hale’s classic tale of loyalty and patriotism, which serves as a powerful meditation on the relationship between the individual and their homeland amidst the backdrop of the American Civil War.
