EBOOK EDITION INCLUDES COOPER'S ORIGINAL TEXT ? An epic story of war, love, friendship, and survival. "[Cooper] didn't bring back the past, he imagined it, dreamed it, set down a vision of America that became real for millions" (The Associated Press).

The classic novel, now in a modern English translation.

The Last of the Mohicans is James Fenimore Cooper's most celebrated work. Still a must-read story today, many now find the text's archaic prose "convoluted" and "difficult to read" (Goodreads top-ranked review). The novel flows with new life in this modern English translation by editor Aldwin Grey. Retold with finesse and rigor, Grey's translations enable readers to enjoy important classics in a fresh, clear voice. They can also be used as study guides alongside the original works.

IT IS 1757 and England and France are fighting for the claim of the New World. When the French attack the British fort at Lake George, a white scout, Hawkeye, and his two Mohican companions, Chingachgook and Uncas, become entwined in a battle to save the daughters of Commander Munro. Following the waterways and shadowed tracks of the Appalachian forests, the woodsmen set forth on a journey -- sometimes brutal and sometimes comical -- into a territory where lives are paid for with blood and scalps.

Original
"What art thou?"
"A woman. One of a hated race, if thou wilt -- a Yengee. But one who has never harmed thee, and who cannot harm thy people, if she would; who asks for succour."

The Grey Translation
Who are you? he said.
A woman of a hated race. A Yengee. But one who has never harmed you and would never harm your people. I ask for help.

"[The] first great American novel."
-- The Daily Gazette
