Collected here in a single Library of America volume, they are among his finest works. Bold, vigorous, original, each is a tale of high adventure that vividly captures the majesty & power of the seafaring life. Contemporary writers at home and abroad (Francis Parkman, Herman Melville, & Balzac among them) gave Cooper's sea novels high praise. Cooper drew on his direct knowledge of ships & sailors to present a truer picture of life on the sea than had ever before achieved in literature. As a boy of 17 he had sailed before the mast on a merchantman bound from New York to London & then to Spain. On board he experienced the life of a common seaman, learned the craft of sailing, encountered terrifying storms, was chased by pirates, & watched the impressment of crew members by a British man-of-war. He later served as an officer in the United States Navy. "The Pilot" is loosely based upon stories of John Paul Jones' daring hit-and-run tactics during the Revolutionary War. The shadowy hero, modeled on Jones, leads a squadron of the infant American navy in a series of raids on the English coast, braving fierce storms & the guns of hostile warships, yet never revealing his identity. In this novel Cooper introduced the character of the "old salt", the seasoned deckhand happy only aboard ship. Long Tom Coffin, w/ his briny conversation & shrewd nautical advice, is the first of Cooper's memorable portraits of common seamen. A ghostly ship, an uncanny hero, a heroine kidnapped by pirates, revelations of mistaken identity, & the reunion of long-lost relatives (scenes of romance & adventure) fill the pages of "The Red Rover", Cooper's most theatrical novel. Set in the mid-18th century, the tale recounts the exploits of a noble outcast & visionary who foresees America's destiny as a sovereign nation. Forced into a life of piracy, the Rover conducts his private war of independence in a story that equates the free & daring life w/ the American dream of self-reliance & liberty from British rule. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
