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.
Set in 1757, during the American colonial wars between the English and French, this second of Cooper''s five tales shows both camps united in dispossessing the native Indians a...

Set against the French and Indian siege of Fort William Henry in 1757, The Last of the Mohicans recounts the story of two sisters, Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of the English commander, who are struggling to be reunited with their father. They are aided in their perilous journey by Hawk-eye, a frontier scout and his companions Chingachgook and Uncas, the only two survivors of the Mohican tribe. But their lives are endangered by the Mangua, the savage Indian traitor who captures the sisters, wanting Cora to be his squaw. In setting Indian against Indian and the brutal society of the white man against the civilization of the Mohican, Cooper, more than any author before or since, shaped the American sense of itself as a nation.
La mejor y más popular obra de Fenimore Cooper transcurre en la época de la última guerra entre Francia e Inglaterra en tierras norteamericanas. Un viaje de socorro entre dos fuertes es el pretexto para transmitirnos el perfume y la severidad de la selva, los enamoramientos ruborosos, distintas secuencias de lealtad, traicion o sacrificio. Tambien para sobrecogernos con las aventuras y peligros, sumergirnos en las tribus de los pieles rojas y acaso encariñarnos con alguno. Pues, como dice el propio Ojo de Halcon, cuando un hombre convive mucho tiempo con un pueblo, si ellos son honrados y el no es un bribon, la amistad y el cariño crece entre ellos.
