"The Last of the Mohicans" is a historical novel by the American writer J. F. Cooper that takes readers back to the era of the brutal conquest of America by Europeans and the bloody wars with the Native Americans. Such times are exactly what give birth to true heroes.
The French are waging a war against the British for American lands and are enlisting the help of the indigenous population—the Indians. One of the French allies, the treacherous and vengeful Huron Magua, kidnaps the two daughters of the English Colonel Munro—the brave Cora and the gentle young Alice. The famous English Major Duncan Heyward and the brave hunter Hawkeye, along with his faithful friends Chingachgook and his son Uncas, set out to save the young women. To free the captives, the heroes must travel a long and difficult path: find the true trail, so carefully hidden by the ruthless Hurons; pass through the crossfire of two armies; and demonstrate all their courage, bravery, and resourcefulness.
Renowned master of illustration Anatoly Zinovyevich Itkin makes every hero unique, without missing a single nuance, noticing every trait of the characters. The story, which unfolds amidst picturesque scenes of American nature, becomes even more compelling.
