Books with title Livingstone, the pathfinder

Vigorous, self-reliant, amazingly resourceful, and moral, Natty Bumppo is the prototype of the Western hero. A faultless arbiter of wilderness justice, he hates middle-class hypocrisy. But he finds his love divided between the woman he has pledged to protect on a treacherous journey and the untouched forest that sustains him in his beliefs. A fast-paced narrative full of adventure and majestic descriptions of early frontier life, Indian raiders, and defenseless outposts, The Pathfinder set the standard for epic action literature.Quotes from the book:“The sublimity connected with vastness is familiar to every eye.”“The expanse of the ocean is seldom seen by the novice with indifference.”“Walking about streets, going to church of Sundays, and hearing sermons, never yet made a man of a human being. Send the boy out upon the broad ocean, if you wish to open his eyes, and let him look upon foreign nations, or what I call the face of nature, if you wish him to understand his own character.”Readers' reviews:“Cooper emphatically belongs to the nation. He has left a space in our literature which will not easily be supplied.” (Washington Irving)“A beautiful look at life on the early frontier and the struggle for survival. Romance, adventure, survival all together in a wonderful tale told in language nearly forgotten. Appealing to both men and woman, a true American classic worth the investment of time.” (Chris Smith, goodreads.com) “I loved it. I come from upstate New York, though I haven´t lived there in over 20 years. I have camped and canoed in the the Adirondacks many times, just an hour East of Oswego. I felt like I was transported back to that green cathedral in this book, and could easily see eye-to-eye with the Pathfinders reverence of nature.”(William Durkee, goodreads.com)

Excerpt from Livingstone: The PathfinderHe saw another picture of other people sitting round a fire. These were his young brothers and his Sisters, with himself - a raw, loose-limbed, mill boy - all sitting round the hearth at home in Scot land listening with wide-open eyes to their shaggy haired grandfather, as with flashing eyes he told stories, strangely like these African tales; stories of the wild, fighting Highlanders, and the brave suf ferings Of the Old Scottish covenanting heroes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
