(online). Der vorliegende Titel ist hier markiert als fünfter Teil der Lederstrumpf-Erzählungen: The five Leatherstocking Tales about Natty Bumppo (Leatherstocking, Hawkeye, the Trapper, Pathfinder, Deerslayer). - ?The Leatherstocking Tales, by American novelist, historian, and social critic James Fenimore Cooper, relate the adventures of frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Known as Leatherstocking, Hawkeye, and Pathfinder, among other names, Bumppo is introduced as a young man in The Deerslayer, the first novel in terms of content but the last to be published. The novels tell of his adventures living a life of freedom in the wilderness of New York and of his retreat from the advance of civilization. They end with his old age and death in the Great Plains region of the West. Reflected in the series are Cooper's views on the importance of individual freedom in society. Considered classics of American literature, the Leatherstocking Tales set the pace for future writers of western and frontier stories. They have been widely translated and portions have been dramatized on ?Masterpiece Theatre?.? (from: NLS Minibibliographies, in: Library of Congress). -- Die Illustrationen wohl nach Aquarellen oder Tuschpinselzeichnungen von Frank T. Merrill, ?peintre et graveur, école Américaine? (Bénézit), i.e. Frank Thayer Merrill (Boston 1848??). ?Early in his career he worked on the comic newspaper-magazine Punchinello [.]. Merrill?s commission as principal illustrator for The Prince and the Pauper marked the beginning of an impressive career as illustrator.?
