The book includes all five novels of the famous epic about Leatherstocking by the renowned American writer James Fenimore Cooper: "Deerslayer, or the First Warpath", "The Last of the Mohicans, or the Narrative of the Year 1757", "The Pathfinder, or On the Shores of Ontario", "Pioneers, or At the Sources of the Susquehanna" and "Prairie".
All texts are printed according to the rare edition of Giz - Grzhebin, 1923, without indicating the translator, but in the literary encyclopedia it is indicated about him: "The entire epic of Leatherstocking is given in the complete translation by I. Vvedensky, edited and with notes by M. Gorky."
The success of the novel "Pioneers" was phenomenal, because Cooper wrote about what he knew well from childhood - about the wild nature of North America and its pioneers.
On the pages of "Pioneers", readers first became acquainted with the pathfinder Leatherstocking and the Indian Chingachgook.
Cooper personally knew only one Indian, who sold game and fish to his father. The writer gleaned other information about the Indians from books and articles. However, Cooper, with his writing talent, skillfully combined American patriotism with an accurate description of details and a certain romanticism in "Pioneers". This mixture ensured the success of this and his other books, which became the first bright beacons on the path to the formation of original American literature. Later, Cooper wrote four other novels about Leatherstocking, telling about his earlier adventures. All of them are included in this edition.
The edition is decorated with illustrations by famous British artists, brothers Charles Edmund Brock and Henry Matthew Brock.
