The Pilot

Autor James Fenimore Cooper
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2008
James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), although brought up in privileged circumstances, became a merchant seaman and served for three years as a midshipman in the Navy. His knowledge of the sea would serve him well, in numerous novels through his long career. But it was in The Pilot that he painted the fullest and most engaging picture of the ocean-going adventurer.
Cooper was prompted by the example of Sir Walter Scott's The Pirate -- a popular novel of merit, but "not strictly nautical, or true in its details." Scott's novel produced in Cooper "a sudden determination to produce a work which, if it had no other merit, might present truer pictures of the ocean and ships."
The Pilot, with its gripping depictions of life on the waves, became a phenomenal success for the author of The Deerslayer and The Pathfinder.

Notă biografică

James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it. Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians, Cooper's works on the early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.
