Synopsis:
The best-selling adventure novel by James Fenimore Cooper, now restored from the original text.
Hailed as the “first great American novel,” The Last of the Mohicans is James Fenimore Cooper’s most celebrated work. It tells the story of war, love, friendship, and survival that inspired an Oscar®-winning film. While other versions of the book contain hundreds of editorial changes and corruptions, this all-new publication features the complete unabridged text, meticulously reproduced from the original book. Each page was verified word by word and mark by mark, then corrected for typos to make for a clean reading experience.
This special edition of The Last of the Mohicans includes:
- An all-new reproduction of Cooper’s 1831 “revised, corrected” edition
- Restored passages missing from most other publications of the book today
- Detailed annotations that give deeper insights into the story
- An introduction by editor Aldwin Grey
- Design elements and layout that mimic the original book
IT IS 1757 and England and France are fighting for the claim of the New World. When the French attack the British fort at Lake George, a white scout, Hawk-eye, and his two Mohican companions, Chingachgook and Uncas, become entwined in a battle to save the daughters of Commander Munro. Following the waterways and shadowed tracks of the Appalachian forests, the woodsmen set forth on a journey—sometimes brutal and sometimes comical—into a territory where lives are paid for with blood and scalps.
“[Cooper] didn’t bring back the past, he imagined it, dreamed it, set down a vision of America that became real for millions.”
—The Associated Press
