Autorenporträt

James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a pioneering American writer known for his historical novels about the frontier and Native American life. Born in Burlington, New Jersey, he was raised in Cooperstown, New York-a settlement founded by his father. His early experiences in the wilderness shaped his literary vision.Cooper's most famous works are the Leatherstocking Tales, a five-novel series featuring the legendary frontiersman Natty Bumppo, also known as Hawkeye. The Last of the Mohicans (1826), the most famous of the series, is often considered his masterpiece. Through these novels, he explored themes of naturalism, individualism, and frontier conflicts.Beyond the Leatherstocking Tales, Cooper wrote about war and the sea. His notable works include The Spy (1821), set during the American Revolution, and The Pilot (1823), one of the first American sea novels. His works entertained readers while offering sharp commentary on social and political issues. Cooper's legacy endures as a key figure in American literature.
