In the wars between the British and French for the possession of American lands (1755-1763), opponents more than once used the civil strife of the Indian tribes. The times were hard and cruel. Danger lurked at every turn. And it is not surprising that the girls who were traveling, accompanied by Major Duncan Hayward to the commander of the besieged fort, were worried. Alice and Cora were especially worried - that was the name of the sisters - the Magua Indian, nicknamed the Sly Fox. He volunteered to lead them along a supposedly safe forest path. Duncan calmed the girls, although he himself began to worry: are they really lost?

Fortunately, in the evening the travelers met Hawkeye - this name was already firmly entrenched in St. John's wort - and not alone, but with Chingachgook and Uncas. An Indian who got lost in the woods during the day?! Hawkeye was more alert than Duncan. He offers the major to grab the guide, but the Indian manages to sneak away. Now no one doubts the betrayal of the Indian Magua. With the help of Chingachgook and his son Uncas, Hawkeye ferries travelers to a small rocky island.

In continuation of a modest dinner, "Uncas renders Cora and Alice all the services that were in his power." Noticeably - he pays more attention to Cora than to her sister. However, the danger has not yet passed. Attracted by the loud wheezing of horses frightened by wolves, the Indians find their refuge. Skirmish, then hand-to-hand. The first onslaught of the Hurons is repelled, but the besieged have run out of ammunition. Salvation is only in flight - unbearable, alas, for girls. It is necessary to swim at night, along the rapids and cold mountain river. Cora urges Hawkeye to run with Chingachgook and get help as soon as possible. Longer than other hunters, she has to convince Uncas: the Major and the sisters are in the hands of Magua and his friends.

The kidnappers and captives stop on the hill to rest. Cunning Fox reveals to Kore the target of the kidnapping. It turns out that her father, Colonel Munro, once severely insulted him, ordering him to be whipped for drinking. And now, in revenge, he will marry his daughter. Cora angrily refuses. And then Magua decides to brutally deal with the prisoners. The sisters and the major are tied to trees, brushwood is laid out nearby for a fire. The Indian persuades Cora to agree, at least to pity her sister, who is very young, almost a child. But Alice, having learned about Magua's intention, prefers a painful death.

An enraged Magua throws a tomohawk. The hatchet plunges into the tree, pinning the girl's lush blond hair. The major breaks free of his bonds and rushes at one of the Indians. Duncan is almost defeated, but a shot is fired and the Indian falls. This arrived in time Hawkeye and his friends. After a short battle, the enemies are defeated. Magua, pretending to be dead and seizing the moment, runs again.

Dangerous wanderings end happily - the travelers reach the fort. Under the cover of fog, despite the French besieging the fort, they manage to get inside. The father finally saw his daughters, but the joy of the meeting was overshadowed by the fact that the defenders of the fort were forced to surrender, albeit on honorable terms for the British: the defeated retain their banners, weapons and can freely retreat to their own.

At dawn, burdened with the wounded, as well as children and women, the garrison leaves the fort. Nearby, in a narrow wooded gorge, Indians attack the wagon train. Magua kidnaps Alice and Cora again.

On the third day after this tragedy, Colonel Munro, along with Major Duncan, Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas, inspect the site of the massacre. From barely noticeable traces, Uncas concludes: the girls are alive - they are in captivity. Moreover, by continuing the inspection, the Mohican reveals the name of their captor - Magua! After conferring, friends set off on an extremely dangerous journey: to the homeland of the Sly Fox, to areas inhabited mainly by the Hurons. With adventures, losing and finding traces again, the pursuers finally find themselves near the village of the Hurons.

Here they meet the psalmist David, who, having a reputation as an imbecile, voluntarily followed the girls. From David, the colonel learns about the situation of his daughters: he left Alice Magua with him, and sent Cora to the Delawares living in the neighborhood, on the lands of the Hurons. Duncan, who is in love with Alice, wants to get into the village by all means. Pretending to be a fool, changing his appearance with the help of Hawkeye and Chingachgook, he goes on reconnaissance. In the Huron camp, he pretends to be a French doctor, and he, like David, is allowed to go everywhere by the Hurons. To Duncan's dismay, the captive Uncas is brought to the village. At first, the Hurons take him for an ordinary prisoner, but Magua appears and recognizes the Swift Deer. The hated name arouses such wrath of the Hurons that, if not for the Sly Fox, the young man would have been torn to pieces on the spot. Magua convinces the tribesmen to postpone the execution until the morning. Uncas is taken to a separate hut. The father of a sick Indian woman turns to the doctor Duncan for help. He goes to the cave where the sick woman lies, accompanied by the girl's father and a tame bear. Duncan asks everyone to leave the cave. The Indians obey the demand of the "healer" and go out, leaving the bear in the cave. The bear is transforming - Hawkeye is hiding under the animal skin! With the help of a hunter, Duncan discovers Alice hidden in a cave - but then Magua appears. The sly Fox triumphs. But not for long.

The "bear" grabs the Indian and squeezes him in an iron embrace, the major ties the hands of the villain. But from the excitement experienced, Alice cannot take a single step. The girl is wrapped in Indian clothes, and Duncan - accompanied by a "bear" - takes her outside. Otiu, the sick self-styled "healer", referring to the power of the Evil Spirit, orders to stay and guard the exit from the cave. The trick succeeds - the fugitives safely reach the forest. At the edge of the forest, Hawkeye shows Duncan the path leading to the Delawares and returns to free Uncas. With the help of David, he deceives the warriors guarding the Swift Deer and hides with the Mohican in the forest. An enraged Magua, who is found in a cave and freed from his bonds, calls on his fellow tribesmen for revenge.

The next morning, at the head of a strong military detachment, the Sly Fox sets off for the Delawares. Having hidden the detachment in the forest, Magua enters the village. He appeals to the Delaware leaders, demanding to hand over the captives. The leaders, deceived by the eloquence of the Cunning Fox, agreed, but after the intervention of Kora, it turns out that in reality only she is the prisoner of Magua - all the others freed themselves. Colonel Munro offers a rich ransom for Cora - the Indian refuses. Uncas, who unexpectedly became the supreme leader, is forced to release Magua along with the captive. At parting, Sly Fox is warned: after enough time has passed for flight, the Delawares will set foot on the warpath.

Soon, military operations, thanks to the able leadership of Uncas, bring a decisive victory to the Delawares. The Hurons are broken. Magua, having captured Cora, flees. Swift Deer pursues the enemy. Realizing that they cannot escape, the last of the surviving companions of the Sly Fox raises a knife over Kora. Uncas, seeing that he might not be in time, throws himself from the cliff between the girl and the Indian, but falls and loses consciousness. Huron kills Cora. Swift-footed Deer manages to slay the killer, but Magua, seizing the moment, plunges a knife into the young man's back and takes off running. A shot sounds - Hawkeye pays off with the villain.

Orphaned people, orphaned fathers, solemn farewell. The Delaware have just lost their newly acquired leader - the last of the Mohicans (sagamore), but one leader will be replaced by another; the colonel had a younger daughter; Chingachgook lost everything. And only Hawkeye, turning to the Great Serpent, finds words of consolation: “No, sagamore, you are not alone! We may be different in skin color, but we are destined to follow the same path. I have no relatives and I can say, like you, I don’t have my own people.

retold

A novel not to be missed! He became a favorite for generations. Young people were equal to the heroes of this work, people at a more mature age also tried to do this. This is an adventure story with a certain spirit of adventurism. But there is also a tragedy in it, which cannot be read about without tears in the eyes. The death of Uncas reflects the dramatic fate of the indigenous population of America - the brave Indians, who were taken not only shelter, but also life.

The novel "The Last of the Mohicans", a brief summary of which is familiar to everyone from many films and cartoons, is the most popular creation. Written by the author in 1826, it is included in a cycle of five works with a common hero - Natty Bumpo or Leather Stocking. The whole cycle describes the character's life from early youth to old age. And before his eyes, the New World is turning from an almost deserted (with the exception of the red-skinned tribes) corner of the earth into a lively place. However, this process was not entirely positive: many good people also disappeared into oblivion, dying during the battle.

The end of wild, practically undeveloped America and describes the "Last of the Mohicans". The content of the novel is a cruel deforestation of virgin forests, violence against the rightful owners of the land - people who, ironically, were his compatriots. And worst of all, it was he, Natty, who helped them settle down and gain a foothold here.

"The Last of the Mohicans". Summary of the novel

To tell the story briefly, it describes General Munro, who came to the frontier with two beautiful daughters. However, at that time there was a war between the colonialists, in which they dragged the natives. It so happened that Cora and Alice are kidnapped by the Hurons, allies of the French, and Hawkeye (that is, Natty Bumpo), together with friends, are trying to free them. The hero is helped by already familiar Indians Chingachguk and his son Uncas, the last representatives of the Mohican tribe who survived.

The novel "The Last of the Mohicans", the summary of which cannot convey the whole exciting atmosphere, is filled with events. Violent fights, traps, persecution help to reveal the character of the characters, to show their positive and negative traits. All the action takes place in the bosom of amazing nature, which can act as an ally to positive characters. The customs of a civilization that is doomed to destruction are also very vividly described. Therefore, it is better to read the novel "The Last of the Mohicans" in full. The summary will not be able to reflect the depth of feelings that cover Chingachgook and Natty when they see the death of Uncas. The young man, with all his courage and enthusiasm, protects his beloved at the cost of his own life. However, this did not save Cora either - the enraged Magua managed to plunge his dagger into the girl's chest. The work ends with a touching funeral scene, from which the heart shrinks from pain.

What is a novel for contemporaries? An ode to courage, bravery, self-sacrifice. And he also became the beginning of a new genre in the literature and art of America - the western. Therefore, we can safely say that it was Cooper who laid the foundation for the further development of the culture of the American people. "The Last of the Mohicans" is undoubtedly a work that deserves your attention.

18 century. Between the French and the British, the struggle for land was common. Very often they resorted to extreme measures and launched internecine wars in the Indian tribes. These territories became a place where the blood of the innocent was constantly shed and fierce battles were fought. The unfortunate inhabitants, left without a family, were ready to do anything to avenge the death of their loved ones.

Two girls, daughters of a colonel, wanted to visit their father, who was besieged in enemy territory. They were accompanied by Major Duncan Hayward and Indian Magua. Magua knew the forest well and guaranteed the girls that they would get to the appointed place very quickly. A short path lay through the fatal path, where the heroes turned.

Not far from the bank of the river, a hunter and an Indian Chingachkug talked about what had become of the great tribe and how the white-faced destroyed the families of the Mohicans. The buddies decide to go hunting, but a few white people defuse the situation. They were two girls, accompanied by Hayward and Magua. It turned out that the travelers were lost and could not find a way out of the forest. This greatly alarms Chingachgook and he realizes that Magua would never go astray. The decision was made to shoot the deceiver, but Hayward stops the hunter. The deceitful traitor runs away and tries to hide in the forest. The travelers assumed that he was supposed to lead the girls straight into the trap. Chingachgook and his friend take the girls to a safe place where no one can find them. But there they are found by those to whom Magua was supposed to bring his escorts. Heroes still find themselves surrounded by an enemy army of white-faced.

Hayward and his help managed to escape, but the girls were taken prisoner. Magua did not just kidnap the girls, it was an old revenge on their father. But soon the major, Chingachkug and the hunter save the colonel's daughters. Magua is killed, the heroes thought so, but it turned out to be untrue. He again tries to kidnap young girls. Having gathered all the forces, the team is one step ahead and defeats the enemies.

"The Last of the Mohicans, or the Narrative of 1757"

In the wars between the British and French for the possession of American lands (1755-1763), opponents more than once used the civil strife of Indian tribes. The times were hard and cruel. Danger lurked at every turn. And it is not surprising that the girls who were traveling, accompanied by Major Duncan Hayward to the commander of the besieged fort, were worried. Alice and Cora were especially worried - that was the name of the sisters - the Magua Indian, nicknamed the Sly Fox. He volunteered to lead them along a supposedly safe forest path. Duncan calmed the girls, although he himself began to worry: are they really lost?

Fortunately, in the evening the travelers met Hawkeye - this name was already firmly entrenched in St. John's Wort - and not alone, but with Chingachgook and Uncas. An Indian who got lost in the woods during the day?! Hawkeye was more alert than Duncan. He offers the major to grab the guide, but the Indian manages to sneak away. Now no one doubts the betrayal of the Indian Magua. With the help of Chingachgook and his son Uncas, Hawkeye ferries travelers to a small rocky island.

In continuation of a modest dinner, "Uncas renders Cora and Alice all the services that were in his power." Noticeably - he pays more attention to Cora than to her sister. However, the danger has not yet passed. Attracted by the loud wheezing of horses frightened by wolves, the Indians find their refuge. Skirmish, then - hand-to-hand. The first onslaught of the Hurons is repelled, but the besieged have run out of ammunition. Salvation is only in flight - unbearable, alas, for girls. It is necessary to swim at night, along the rapids and cold mountain river. Cora urges Hawkeye to run with Chingachgook and get help as soon as possible. Longer than other hunters, she has to convince Uncas: the Major and the sisters are in the hands of Magua and his friends.

The kidnappers and captives stop on the hill to rest. Cunning Fox reveals to Kore the target of the kidnapping. It turns out that her father, Colonel Munro, once severely insulted him, ordering him to be whipped for drinking. And now, in revenge, he will marry his daughter. Cora angrily refuses. And then Magua decides to brutally deal with the prisoners. The sisters and the major are tied to trees, brushwood is laid out nearby for a fire. The Indian persuades Cora to agree, at least to take pity on her sister, who is very young, almost a child. But Alice, having learned about Magua's intention, prefers a painful death.

An enraged Magua throws a tomohawk. The hatchet plunges into the tree, pinning the girl's lush blond hair. The major breaks free of his bonds and rushes at one of the Indians. Duncan is almost defeated, but a shot rings out and the Indian falls. This arrived in time Hawkeye and his friends. After a short battle, the enemies are defeated. Magua, pretending to be dead and seizing the moment, runs again.

Dangerous wanderings end happily - the travelers reach the fort. Under the cover of fog, despite the French besieging the fort, they manage to get inside. The father finally saw his daughters, but the joy of the meeting was overshadowed by the fact that the defenders of the fort were forced to surrender, however, on honorable conditions for the British: the defeated retain banners, weapons and can freely retreat to their own.

At dawn, burdened with the wounded, as well as children and women, the garrison leaves the fort. Nearby, in a narrow wooded gorge, Indians attack the wagon train. Magua kidnaps Alice and Cora again.

On the third day after this tragedy, Colonel Munro, along with Major Duncan, Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas, inspect the site of the massacre. From barely noticeable traces, Uncas concludes: the girls are alive - they are in captivity. Moreover, by continuing the inspection, the Mohican reveals the name of their captor - Magua! After conferring, the friends set off on an extremely dangerous journey: to the homeland of the Sly Fox, to areas inhabited mainly by the Hurons. With adventures, losing and finding traces again, the pursuers finally find themselves near the village of the Hurons.

Here they meet the psalmist David, who, having a reputation as an imbecile, voluntarily followed the girls. From David, the colonel learns about the situation of his daughters: he left Alice Magua with him, and sent Cora to the Delawares living in the neighborhood, on the lands of the Hurons. Duncan, who is in love with Alice, wants to get into the village by all means. Pretending to be a fool, changing his appearance with the help of Hawkeye and Chingachgook, he goes on reconnaissance. In the Huron camp, he pretends to be a French doctor, and he, like David, is allowed to go everywhere by the Hurons. To Duncan's dismay, the captive Uncas is brought to the village. At first, the Hurons take him for an ordinary prisoner, but Magua appears and recognizes the Swift Deer. The hated name arouses such wrath of the Hurons that, if not for the Sly Fox, the young man would have been torn to pieces on the spot. Magua convinces the tribesmen to postpone the execution until the morning. Uncas is taken to a separate hut. The father of a sick Indian woman turns to the doctor Duncan for help. He goes to the cave where the sick woman lies, accompanied by the girl's father and a tame bear. Duncan asks everyone to leave the cave. The Indians obey the demand of the "healer" and go out, leaving the bear in the cave. The bear is transforming - Hawkeye is hiding under the animal skin! With the help of a hunter, Duncan discovers Alice hidden in a cave - but then Magua appears. The sly Fox triumphs. But not for long.

The "bear" grabs the Indian and squeezes him in an iron embrace, the major ties the hands of the villain. But from the excitement experienced, Alice cannot take a single step. The girl is wrapped in Indian clothes, and Duncan - accompanied by a "bear" - carries her outside. The father of the sick self-styled "healer", referring to the power of the Evil Spirit, orders to stay and guard the exit from the cave. The trick succeeds - the fugitives safely reach the forest. At the edge of the forest, Hawkeye shows Duncan the path leading to the Delawares and returns to free Uncas. With the help of David, he deceives the warriors guarding the Swift Deer and hides with the Mohican in the forest. An enraged Magua, who is found in a cave and freed from his bonds, calls on his fellow tribesmen for revenge.

The next morning, at the head of a strong military detachment, the Sly Fox sets off for the Delawares. Having hidden the detachment in the forest, Magua enters the village. He appeals to the Delaware leaders, demanding to hand over the captives. The leaders, deceived by the eloquence of the Cunning Fox, agreed, but after the intervention of Kora, it turns out that in reality only she is the prisoner of Magua - all the others freed themselves. Colonel Munro offers a rich ransom for Cora, but the Indian refuses. Uncas, who unexpectedly became the supreme leader, is forced to release Magua along with the captive. In parting, Sly Fox is warned: after enough time has passed for flight, the Delawares will set foot on the warpath.

Soon, military operations, thanks to the able leadership of Uncas, bring a decisive victory to the Delawares. The Hurons are broken. Magua, having captured Cora, flees. Swift Deer pursues the enemy. Realizing that they cannot escape, the last of the surviving companions of the Sly Fox raises a knife over Kora. Uncas, seeing that he might not be in time, throws himself from the cliff between the girl and the Indian, but falls and loses consciousness. Huron kills Cora. Swift-footed Deer manages to defeat the killer, but Magua, seizing the moment, plunges a knife into the young man's back and takes off running. A shot sounds - Hawkeye is paying off the villain.

Orphaned people, orphaned fathers, solemn farewell. The Delawares have just lost their newly acquired leader - the last of the Mohicans (sagamore), but one leader will be replaced by another; the colonel had a younger daughter; Chingachgook lost everything. And only Hawkeye, turning to the Great Serpent, finds words of consolation: “No, sagamore, you are not alone! We may be different in skin color, but we are destined to follow the same path. I have no relatives and I can say, like you, I don’t have my own people.

The war between the French and the British for the lands of America is in full swing. The daughters Cora and Alice, accompanied by Major Duncan Hayward, are sent to the fort to Colonel Munron. The guide Maguave leads them along a supposedly safe path, but the end of the road is not visible, the girls are worried.

In the evening, travelers meet St. John's wort, whom the Indians call Hawkeye, Chingachgook and his son Uncas. The hunters do not believe that the Sly Fox could get lost, they want to find out the reason, but Magua is hiding.

Realizing that the Indian will return with help, everyone crosses to the island. But Magua and the Hurons find the fugitives, they manage to capture Duncan and the sisters. Magua reveals the truth to Kora: the colonel once ordered him to be whipped for drinking, now he intends to take revenge - to marry his daughter. The refusal of the girls infuriated the Indian, he decides to burn them at the stake.

Hawkeye and his comrades save the lives of captives. Magua manages to escape again. A trinity of fearless warriors accompanies the girls to the port and helps them get inside. The father was delighted with his daughters, but the meeting is overshadowed - the fort is besieged. The British are offered to leave the fortress with honor.

At dawn, the garrison leaves. In the gorge, the Hurons attack the convoy with women. After examining the traces, Uncas declares: the girls are alive, they are captured by Magua. The comrades decide to go to the Huron settlement. The psalmist we met on the way said: Alice is with the Hurons, Cora Magua sent to the Delawares. Duncan managed to fall in love with his younger sister and wants to penetrate the village.

He disguises himself, pretends to be imbecile, and goes on a reconnaissance mission. In the Huron camp, he pretends to be a doctor, he is allowed to move around without protection. Soon a prisoner is brought to the village. Recognizing Uncas in him, the Hurons are immediately ready to deal with him, but Magua offers to postpone the execution until morning.

With the help of Chingachgook and Hawkeye, Duncan manages to cunningly free Alice and Uncas. Magua calls on his fellow tribesmen for revenge.

The Hurons go to the Delaware settlement and demand the return of their captives. Those agree with the traditions, but Cora explains to the Indians: the captive is only she, the rest are free - they were able to escape from the Hurons. Magua takes Cora and leaves. Uncas, elected supreme leader, warns the villain: as soon as the time allotted for flight expires, the Delawares will set foot on the warpath.

Uncas keeps his word. The confrontation with the Hurons ends with the victory of the Delawares. Magua tries to escape with the captive, but the pursuers do not lag behind. A desperate fight takes place on the rock, one of the Gurons kills Cora. Magua strikes Uncas, who has fallen from a height, with a mortal blow with a knife. But this time it is not possible to escape - Hawkeye's bullet overtook the killer.

The Delaware lost their leader, the last of the Mohicans, Munro, one of their daughters, and Chingachgook, their only son. Hawkeye finds consolation to his comrade: they are destined to go the same way, both have neither relatives nor their own people.
