Another one is 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. George is a relatively normal, practical man in a difficult situation. He has to take care of Lennie and deal with the hardships of the Great Depression era. He is like a straight man in this tragic story, trying to keep things together.
In 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway can be considered a straight man. He is an observer in the extravagant world of Jay Gatsby and the Buchanans. He is more down - to - earth compared to the other characters and his perspective guides the reader through the story as he witnesses the excesses and tragedies of the Jazz Age.
One famous example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. The protagonist Holden Caulfield can be seen as a kind of straight man in a world he finds phony. He's just a teenager trying to make sense of the adult world around him.
Sure. 'The Catcher in the Rye' is one. It's about Holden Caulfield, a young man's experiences in New York City as he struggles with growing up, his disillusionment with society, and his search for identity.
One of the well - known'man's man novels' is 'The Call of the Wild' by Jack London. It tells the story of a dog named Buck who has to adapt to the harsh Alaskan wilderness. Another is 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville, which is about Captain Ahab's obsessive hunt for the white whale.
One such book is 'Call Me by Your Name'. It beautifully portrays the relationship between a young man and an older man. The story is set in Italy and the descriptions of the setting add to the overall charm of the budding relationship. It shows how the straight - identified young man gradually falls in love with the other man, exploring themes of love, desire, and self - discovery.

Orlando by Virginia Woolf could be considered in this category. The character Orlando experiences a change in gender over time, which allows for a deep exploration of gender and identity.
One well - known mountain man novel is 'The Revenant' which has a lot of elements of a mountain man's life including survival in the wild and facing various challenges.
Another notable French man novel is 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert. It explores the life of Emma Bovary, a woman who is dissatisfied with her provincial life and pursues romantic ideals that lead her to a tragic end. Flaubert's detailed descriptions of the characters and their surroundings make it a classic.
One of the well - known Chinese man novels is 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. It depicts the power struggles, heroic deeds, and complex relationships among various warlords during the Three Kingdoms period. The vivid portrayal of characters like Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei has made it a classic in Chinese literature.
Sure. 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes can be considered in a way. Don Quixote travels around, having various adventures, and through his misadventures, he gains knowledge about different aspects of the world, both real and imagined. 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert also has elements. Emma Bovary dreams of a more exciting and worldly life outside her provincial existence. Although she may not be a typical 'man of the world' in the traditional sense, her yearnings and the world she tries to enter are part of the exploration. And 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy has characters like Pierre Bezukhov who experience different social, military, and cultural situations during the Napoleonic Wars, making them worldly in the context of the novel.
Another is 'The Call of the Wild' by Jack London. The story follows Buck, a dog, as he reverts to his more primitive self in the harsh Alaskan wilderness. It shows his transformation from a domesticated animal to a wild, survival - driven creature, which is very much in line with the ideas of the natural man novel.
