Synopsis :

James Fenimore Cooper wrote THE SPY in 1821 intending the novel to preserve both the memory and the meaning of the American Revolution. The novel centres around Harry Birch, a man wrongly suspected by the well-born Patriots of being a spy for the British. His character is misread time and time again, making this novel a parable of the American experience, as well as a reminder that the nation's survival depends on judging people by their actions, and not by their class or roots.

À propos de l'auteur:

JAMES FENIMORE COOPER (1789-1851) was the Walter Scott of America: he wrote romances of the American Revolution and of the Indian wars on the American frontier, including the series known as the Leatherstocking Tales, which included THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS and THE DEERSLAYER (all of which are available in Penguin Clasics).

WAYNE FRANKLIN is the David Distinguished Professor of American Literature at Northeastern University, USA.
