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.

评分不好意思地说，留意到这本书的书名，是因为多年前，小贝在世界杯上的莫西干头（据说还是翻译错误）。而想读读这本书，是因为前几天重听《晓说》，当讲到《三体》这本书时提到了，印第安被入侵，就如同三体等外星文明入侵地球一样。 这本书在读之前就觉得不会太有趣，一读发现，...
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...

评分从图书馆借来的原版书，里面不认识的单词一大堆。但是看下来以后觉得还是很不错的，很容易投入至作者描述的那个环境当中去。
