In this collection of classics, five seminal tales come together to form a picture of America in its youth, but on the cusp of growing up. These stories defined and challenged the standards of American literature, and their influence is immeasurable. Including Nathaniel Hawthorne's THE SCARLET LETTER, Herman Melville's MOBY DICK, James Fenimore Cooper's THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, Washington Irving's THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and Jack London's THE CALL OF THE WILD, this anthology edition is perfect for the voracious reader.
James Fenimore Cooper
James Fenimore Cooper was a nineteenth-century American author and political critic. Esteemed by many for his Romantic style, Cooper became popular for his depiction of Native Americans in fiction. Before Cooper considered himself a writer, he was expelled from Yale University, served as a midshipman for the United States Navy, and became a gentleman farmer. Cooper wrote many notable works including The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, and The Red Rover, which was adapted and performed on stage in 1828. Cooper passed away in 1851 at the age of 61.
