Pioneers. Prairie

The books of James Fenimore Cooper about Natty Bumppo (also known by the nicknames Leatherstocking, Hawkeye, Pathfinder, Long Rifle, and Deerslayer) have consistently enjoyed success among readers worldwide. These works are considered one of the benchmarks of captivating adventure prose, whose plots and characters forever capture the reader's imagination. A skillful hunter and brave warrior, a selfless defender of the weak and oppressed, Leatherstocking has long since solidified his place in the pantheon of the most popular heroes of world literature. This edition includes two novels about Natty Bumppo in full (gaps in Soviet translations have been restored, and the author's prefaces and notes included). Under the relentless onslaught of White Man's civilization, the legendary hunter Leatherstocking is forced to abandon his dreams of a quiet life and once again take up the path of war, heading towards new incredible adventures. Both novels - "The Pioneers, or At the Sources of the Susquehanna" and "Prairie" - are accompanied by a set of illustrations from the English brothers-artists Henry Matthew Brock and Charles Edmund Brock.
