St. John's wort. The last of the Mohicans. Pathfinder

From its first publication in the 1820s-1840s to this day, James Fenimore Cooper's pentalogy of Nathaniel Bumpo (also known as Deerslayer, Hawkeye, Pathfinder, Long Carbine, and Leatherstocking) has consistently enjoyed worldwide success as one of the standards fascinating adventure prose, the plots and characters of which once and for all captivate the reader's imagination. An agile hunter and a brave warrior, a selfless defender of the weak and oppressed, Leatherstocking has long and firmly entered the pantheon of the most popular heroes of world literature.
This volume includes the first three novels of the cycle, which tell about the young and mature years of Nathaniel's life, about his friendship with the Delaware Indian Chingachgook, about their skirmishes with the Hurons in the wilds of the forest and on the surface of the lake, about the mortal risk that friends take to rescue from the captivity of Chingachgook's beloved, protecting the Hutter family ("Deerslayer") and rescuing the daughters of the British Colonel Munro ("The Last of the Mohicans"), about the protagonist's love for the daughter of his longtime friend, Sergeant Thomas Dunham, and about his self-sacrifice in the name of someone else's happiness ( "Pathfinder"). For the first time in Russian, the full text of St. John's Wort is published, all the author's prefaces and notes to the novels and their later lifetime editions have been restored. The book, also for the first time in Russia, reproduces complete sets of illustrations for Cooper's novels, created by English artists, brothers Henry Matthew Brock and Charles Edmund Brock.
