Since its first publication in the 1820s and 1840s, James Fenimore Cooper's pentalogy of Nathaniel Bumppo (also known by his nicknames Beastmaster, Falcon Eye, Pathfinder, Long Carbine, and Leatherstocking) has been a worldwide success as one of the benchmarks of exciting adventure prose whose plots and characters once and for all captivate the reader's imagination. Dexterous hunter and brave warrior, selfless defender of the weak and oppressed, Leatherstocking has long and firmly entered the pantheon of the most popular heroes of world literature. The present volume includes the first three novels of the cycle, telling about the young and mature years of Nathaniel's life, about his friendship with the Indian-delaware Chingachgook, about their clashes with the Hurons in the forest wilds and on the lake bed, about the deadly risk that the friends take for the sake of recovery from captivity beloved Chingachgook, protection of the Hutter family ("The Beastmaster") and the rescue of the daughters of British Colonel Munro ("The Last of the Mohicans"), about the love of the protagonist to the daughter of his old friend, Sergeant Thomas Dunham, and about his self-sacrifice in the name of someone else's happiness ("Pathfinder"). For the first time in Russian publishes the full text of "Beastmaster", restored all the author's preface and notes to the novels and their later lifetime editions. The book - also for the first time in Russia - reproduces complete sets of illustrations for Cooper's novels, created by British artists, brothers Henry Matthew Brock and Charles Edmund Brock.
