Классическая зарубежная проза на английском языке

James Fenimore Cooper was a prolific and popular American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. The Deerslayer was the last of Cooper'
s Leatherstocking Tales to be written, however, it is considered to be the prequel to the rest of the series. This novel introduces Natty Bumppo as "
Deerslayer"
: a young frontiersman in early 18th-century New York, who objects to the practice of taking scalps, on grounds that every living thing should follow "
the gifts"
of its nature.
