Product details
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, published by Maple Press, is a celebrated classic of American literature and one of the best-known historical adventure novels of the nineteenth century. First published in 1826, the novel is set during the French and Indian War of 1757, a period of conflict between British and French forces for control of territories in North America. Cooper combines historical events with adventure, suspense, wilderness exploration, friendship, courage, and survival.
The story follows Hawkeye, also known as Natty Bumppo, and his companions Chingachgook and Uncas, the last members of the Mohican tribe. Their journey becomes connected with the safety of Cora and Alice Munro, the daughters of a British military officer. As they travel through the dangerous wilderness, the characters encounter conflict, pursuit, captivity, and battles, creating a fast-moving narrative filled with courage and uncertainty.
Beyond its adventure-driven storyline, the novel presents a detailed picture of the North American frontier and the relationships between European settlers and Native American communities. Cooper explores themes of loyalty, bravery, cultural conflict, friendship, honour, survival, and the changing nature of the frontier. The characters' experiences also reflect the historical tensions between British, French, and Native American groups during the period.
With its combination of historical setting, adventure, suspense, wilderness, and memorable characters, The Last of the Mohicans has remained an enduring work of classic fiction. It is particularly appealing to readers who enjoy historical adventures and nineteenth-century literature. The ISBN 9789350330432 edition is an English paperback published by Maple Press; catalogue records list editions with 250 pages, while some records for the same ISBN list 466 pages, so page count can vary by catalogue/printing.
