James Fenimore Cooper is one of the classics of the American novel. The spirit of the continent, the culture, and the customs of the peoples who inhabited it are described with great precision in his cycle of works about the adventures of the scout Natty Bumppo, known as Deerslayer.
In your hands is the first book telling of the young years of the famous hunter. Together with the strongman and braggart Harry March, nicknamed Hurry Harry, Deerslayer sets off for the lake where the beautiful Judith Hutter lives, whom Hurry is in love with. Harry and Thomas Hutter, Judith's father, decide to attack an Indian camp for profit, but end up being taken prisoner themselves. Deerslayer is helped by his friend and brave warrior Chingachgook, who is searching for his kidnapped bride. For these courageous heroes, there are no hopeless situations; they can always accurately assess the circumstances and find a path leading to salvation and victory.
The realistic illustrations by Anatoly Zinovyevich Itkin will draw the reader into the footsteps of Deerslayer as he travels along the warpath.
