The second of Cooper's five Leatherstocking Tales, this is the one which has consistently captured the imagination of generations since it was first published in 1826. Its success lies partly in the historical role Cooper gives to his Indian characters, against the grain of accumulated racial hostility, and partly in his evocation of the wild beautiful landscapes of North America which the French and the British fought to control throughout the eighteenth century. At the centre of the novel is the celebrated 'Massacre' of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohicans Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout. The controlled, elaborate writing gives natural pace to the violence of the novel's action: like the nature whose plundering Copper laments, the books placid surfaces conceal inexplicable and deathly forces. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感

评分本书写于1826年，是美国在新奥尔良之战击败英军获得全面胜利之后广为人知的“和睦时代”。战后美国经历了一系列重要变化，这些变化不仅改变了美国人民而且改变了他们的文化、社会以及对外关系。新一代公民所表现出来的民族主义也许是最明显的变化。人们自豪地称呼自己为美国人...
评分库珀的《刺客》写的不错，《最后一个莫西干人》是在看了电影之后才看的原著，从主旨来说，小说更具神采——当一个民族的神灵都受到亵渎与践踏的时候，她该消亡了...殖民是黑暗的，自由与美好再让人热血澎湃，终究要湮没在必将到来的阴霾中。
