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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感
作品不仅是库柏的最著名作品，就是在同类题材中，也是数一数二的佳作。 故事的背景还是发生在英法刚开始殖民美洲大陆时期，双方在进行着战争，而双方都有着印第安部队盟友。而作者做为英国后裔，显然立场明确，所以在故事中不仅正面描写英国人和英军，还刻意写出的法国人的背信...
评分库珀的《刺客》写的不错，《最后一个莫西干人》是在看了电影之后才看的原著，从主旨来说，小说更具神采——当一个民族的神灵都受到亵渎与践踏的时候，她该消亡了...殖民是黑暗的，自由与美好再让人热血澎湃，终究要湮没在必将到来的阴霾中。
评分首先申明的是，我看的不是这个版本，由于豆瓣网上没有宋兆霖先生翻译的版本，我也只好拿本书来凑数。 库柏被认为是美国的文学之父，《最后一个莫希干人》是其代表作。今天花了一天时间把书读完，还真的被吸引住了。以前的批评者都从小说的人物形象上分析，认为刻画了邦波...
评分本书写于1826年，是美国在新奥尔良之战击败英军获得全面胜利之后广为人知的“和睦时代”。战后美国经历了一系列重要变化，这些变化不仅改变了美国人民而且改变了他们的文化、社会以及对外关系。新一代公民所表现出来的民族主义也许是最明显的变化。人们自豪地称呼自己为美国人...
