The wild rush of action in this classic frontier adventure story has made The Last of the Mohicans the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. Deep in the forests of upper New York State, the brave woodsman Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and his loyal Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas become embroiled in the bloody battles of the French and Indian War. The abduction of the beautiful Munro sisters by hostile savages, the treachery of the renegade brave Magua, the ambush of innocent settlers, and the thrilling events that lead to the final tragic confrontation between rival war parties create an unforgettable, spine-tingling picture of life on the frontier. And as the idyllic wilderness gives way to the forces of civilization, the novel presents a moving portrayal of a vanishing race and the end of its way of life in the great American forests.

Descripción del producto

Críticas

"[Cooper's] sympathy is large, and his humor is as genuine--and as perfectly unaffected--as his art."-- Joseph Conrad

Nota de la solapa

Illus. in black-and-white. This action-packed edition of James Fenimore Cooper's famous adventure brings the wilds of the American frontier and the drama of the French and Indian War to vivid life.

"From the Trade Paperback edition.

Contraportada

At the centre of the novel is the celebrated 'Massacre' of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohican Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout.

Biografía del autor

James Fenimore Cooper was the great professional American author. He was born on Septenber 15, 1789, in Burlington, New Jersey, and grew up in the frontier village of Cooperstown, New Yorrk, in the heart of the wilderness he was to immortalize in his frontier novels. A high-spirited youth, he was expelled from Yale because of a prank and was finally signed by the navy by his strong-willed father. In 1819 a trfling incident repordatly led to the writing of his first book. Reading aloud to his wife from a populr English novel, he exclaimed, "I could write you a better book myself!" The result was Precausion (1820), which followed in 1821 by his first real success, The Spy.

Cooper became a prolific writer, creating two unique genres that were to become staples in American literature-the sea romance and the frontier adventure story. The first of the famous Leatherstocking tales, The Pioneers, appeared in 1823 and introduced the wilderness scout Natty Bumppo. This detailed portrait of frontier life has been called the first truly American novel. In The Last of the Mohicans (1826) Natty Bumppo becomes the well-loved Hawkeye befriended by the noble Indian Chingachgook; the novel remains a favorite American classic. Other Leatherstocking tales were The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840) influenced both Herman Melville and Joseph Conrad and led to the use of the sea novel as vehicle for spiritual and moral explorations. Cooper also wrote political satire, romance, and the meticulously researched History of the Navy of the United States of America (1839). By the time of his death on September 14, 1851, he was considered America's "national novelist."

Riveting despite the language

I'll admit, I've seen the movie with Daniel Day Lewis, and loved it. But, the book, just like always, surpassed the movie. Not only was it full of adventure, but the difference between the two made it even better. The adventure that this group of people went through was keep you on the edge of your seat good. Hawkeye was my favorite in the movie, but Uncas was by far my favorite in the book. He had so much depth and character that was left out in the movie. All of the characters did in the book, well except for Alice. And I think that was because Cora kept her pretty protected.
The dignity with which the author portrayed the native American characters was surprising to me, given the time this book was written, but very much added to the depth of the story and each character.
I didn't think I was going to like this book, but I loved it and it will now be among my favorites.

A well-structured classic with historical background, plenty of action and a poignant ending.

A story that will appeal to those interested in the period of the North American colonial wars, when Britain and France were in bloody conflict for control over what would later become the USA and Canada. Featuring the legendary woodsman scout Hawkeye, the backdrop of the tale is the vast area of forest and lakeland of (in present-day geography) up-State New York. During this period, it’s interesting to note that the various indigenous (ie Indian) tribes were in fact allied to the respective antagonists, the Hurons with the French and the Mohawks with the British. Although the book is undoubtedly an engaging and worthwhile read, it should be noted that it is written in an old-English style, which can, occasionally, be difficult to understand.
