Romance, war, adventure, danger: no wonder James Fenimore Cooper’s novel has inspired countless film and TV adaptations. The Last of the Mohicans is an epic tale of American frontier life, set in the colonial era when the French and the English fought for control of the New World—and needed the help of the Native American tribes to win. Cora and Alice Munro leave the safety of the English fort to visit their father, a general in the British army. But their “friendly” Iroquois guide betrays them to the French—and now their only hope for survival lies with four men: their companion on the journey, Major Duncan Heyward; the frontier scout Hawkeye; and Hawkeye’s Mohican friends, Chingachgook and his son, Uncas. Fenimore Cooper’s powerful saga of doomed love and heart-racing drama has captivated generations of readers across the globe.

The Deerslayer is the first of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, and it introduces Natty Bumppo, the Deerslayer of the title, and the Mohican Chief Chingachgook.

The Pathfinder (1840), Cooper's most picturesque novel and the fourth of the five Leatherstocking Tales, is a naval story set on the Great Lakes of the 1750s.

The book is a facsimile reprint of an original antiquarian work, emphasizing its cultural significance. It may exhibit imperfections typical of older texts, including marks and flawed pages. This edition aims to preserve and promote the literature of the past while providing an accessible, high-quality version that remains true to the original.

Having drawn on local knowledge and private information for The Spy and on his own boyhood experiences for The Pioneers, it was inevitable that Cooper would seek a way to convert yet another area of his special knowledge into art. His first choice of career had been the U.S. Navy, in which he served as a midshipman from 1808 to 1810. In 1823, Cooper began writing The Pilot, which he saw as a sea novel that seamen would appreciate for its fidelity and yet one that landsmen could understand. "Cooper's poetic power is reserved for the sea, which is no backdrop but a separate world with forces and laws of its own. The individuation of the ships, particularly the personification of the Ariel, contributes to the magic, but the exhilaration of the book comes from the triumph of human skill and intelligence over the uncertainties and downright hostilities of a world of waves, winds, and hidden reefs. The land offers neither a comparable challenge nor so heady a victory." -- from the Introduction.

The Spy is a Revolutionary War tale featuring Harvey Birch, a British loyalist and spy for George Washington. The plot unfolds in the neutral zone between armies, highlighting heroism and significant historical events. James Fenimore Cooper, a key figure in early American literature, launched his career with this novel, shaping the romance genre.

"1757 - Lake Ontario, North America. A second adventure with the scout Hawk-eye and his friend Chingachgook. Mabel Dunham arrives at the English fort. Three men fall in love with her - an English officer, the captain of a ship and Hawk-eye. Then Mabel hears the terrible news. There are spies in the fort. The French army and their Indian fighters are coming." -- Cover.

Cooper, James Fenimore et al., Legends of the American Indians

If natural law arguments struggle to gain traction in contemporary moral and political discourse, could it be because we moderns do not share the understanding of nature on which that language was developed? Building on the work of important thinkers of the last half-century, including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis, and Bernard Lonergan, the essays in Concepts of Nature compare and contrast classical, medieval, and modern conceptions of nature in order to better understand how and why the concept of nature no longer seems to provide a limit or standard for human action. These essays also evaluate whether a rearticulation of pre-modern ideas (or perhaps a reconciliation or reconstitution on modern terms) is desirable and/or possible. Edited by R. J. Snell and Steven F. McGuire, this book will be of interest to intellectual historians, political theorists, theologians, and philosophers.

The release of the popular film The Last of the Mohicans has increased interest in Cooper's works. The first in his renowned Leatherstocking Tales, The Pioneers portrays frontier life in a New York settlement in the late 1700s, and is considered the first true bestseller, selling over 3,000 copies within hours of its publication in 1823.

Bücher zählen bis heute zu den wichtigsten kulturellen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Ihre Erfindung war mit der Einführung des Buchdrucks ähnlich bedeutsam wie des Internets: Erstmals wurde eine massenweise Weitergabe von Informationen möglich. Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung, aber auch die Unterhaltung wurde auf neuartige, technisch wie inhaltlich revolutionäre Basis gestellt. Bücher verändern die Gesellschaft bei heute. Die technischen Möglichkeiten des Massen-Buchdrucks führten zu einem radikalen Zuwachs an Titeln im 18. Und 19 Jahrhundert. Dennoch waren die Rahmenbedingungen immer noch ganz andere als heute: Wer damals ein Buch schrieb, verfasste oftmals ein Lebenswerk. Dies spiegelt sich in der hohen Qualität alter Bücher wider. Leider altern Bücher. Papier ist nicht für die Ewigkeit gemacht. Daher haben wir es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, das zu Buch gebrachte Wissen der Menschheit zu konservieren und alte Bücher in möglichst hoher Qualität zu niedrigen Preisen verfügbar zu machen.

Für den zweiten Band der Lederstrumpf-Romane ist bezeichnend, daß Cooper nicht an das Ende, sondern an den Beginn von 'Die Ansiedler' anknüpft. Nicht Alter und Tod, sondern die jungen Mannesjahre Natty Bumppos interessieren ihn: Lederstrumpf erscheint hier als erprobter, berühmter Kundschafter und Krieger von etwa dreißig Jahren, als 'Falkenauge' und 'Lange Büchse'. Diese Gestalt hat Besitz ergriffen von der Phantasie des Autors, der, als Salonlöwe in Paris lebend, sich in die einfache, zivilisationsferne Welt der amerikanischen Wildnis zurückträumte. Dieser Traum bewirkte einen Welterfolg, beflügelte die Phantasie der europäischen Literaten: In Balzacs 'Le dernier Chouan' (1829) schleichen aufständische Bauern wie Indianer durch bretonische Wiesen, und Dumas Père gibt 1854 einem Roman über die Pariser Unterwelt den Titel 'Les Mohicans de Paris'.

James Fenimore Cooper v pentalógii o Koženej Pančuche, statočnom zálesákovi a traperovi Nattym Bumppovi, nesmrteľným spôsobom zvečnil americkú prírodu, ktorú oddávna obývali jej „lesní páni”, Indiáni. Hlboké pralesy a jazerá, čisté ako krištále zasadené do hrude panenskej prírody, menili postupne svoju tvár. Natty, ako jediný svedok tejto obrovskej premeny, sleduje skvatterov, osadníkov, ktorí prenikajú aj s rodinami do hlbokých lesov, klčujú ich a usadzujú sa natrvalo v novej domovine. Sláva indiánskych kmeňov, kedysi takých mocných, zaniká v bratovražednom boji. Aj Izmael Bush opustil náhle zo záhadných dôvodov civilizovaný svet a vybral sa aj so svojou početnou rodinou hľadať si nový domov v dosiaľ neosídlenej pustatine. Ale kraje, do ktorých sa dostal so svojimi statnými synmi a energickou ženou Esterou, s ‚rodinným lekárom’ Obedom Batom, švagrom a so záhadným spolucestovateľom, ktorého starostlivo skrýva v uzavretom voze počas celej cesty, nesľubujú pokojný život a blahobyt. Ale ani v pustatine sa nedá ukryť žiadne tajomstvo. Izmael Bush netuší, že sú jeho záhadnému spolucestovateľovi na stope...
