Opis produktu:

The Deerslayer - a novel by James Fenimore Cooper, an American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances depicting frontier and Native American life created a unique form of American literature.

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 the grounds that every living thing should follow `the gifts` of its nature, which would keep European Americans from taking scalps. Two characters who actually seek to take scalps are Deerslayer`s foil Henry March and the former pirate `Floating Tom` Hutter, to whom Deerslayer is introduced en route to a rendezvous with the latter`s lifelong friend Chingachgook. Shortly before the rendezvous, Hutter`s residence is besieged by the indigenous Hurons, and Hutter and March sneak into the camp of the besiegers to kill and scalp as many as they can.
