Meer over het boek

Set near the end of Natty Bumppo's adventurous life, this tale showcases the legendary frontiersman at "eighty seasons," still formidable and wise. As a skilled trapper, he embodies the ideal mediator with Native Americans. The narrative, part of Cooper's "Leatherstocking Tales," explores themes of heroism and the mythology of the Old West, contrasting Cooper's own experiences in Paris with the rugged landscapes of America. Through Bumppo, Cooper crafts a vision of the West that celebrates nobility and valor, offering a fitting conclusion to the character's journey.
