The Deerslayer

Anonym

Beschreibung

"A man's character is forged in the silence of the forest and the heat of his first battle."

Before he was the "Pathfinder" or "Hawkeye," he was simply Deerslayer—a young man who had never raised a rifle against a human being. On the shores of the crystal-clear Lake Glimmerglass, Natty Bumppo joins his Mohican brother Chingachgook on a perilous mission to rescue a kidnapped maiden. But the wilderness is fraught with danger: the ruthless Thomas Hutter defends his floating "Muskrat Castle" against Huron war parties, and Natty must navigate a world where the line between "civilized" and "savage" is blurred. This is the story of how a hunter became a warrior and a legend was born.

The Education of a Frontiersman: The Deerslayer is a profound meditation on honor and the "white man's gifts" versus "red man's gifts." We witness Natty's first lethal encounter—a pivotal moment of psychological transition—where he earns his first warrior name from a dying foe. It is a masterpiece of moral complexity disguised as a high-stakes adventure.

A World in Conflict: The novel captures the breathtaking beauty of the pre-Revolutionary American landscape while exposing the brutal realities of colonial expansion. Through the characters of the beautiful Judith Hutter and the simple-minded Hetty, Cooper explores themes of vanity, faith, and the tragic consequences of frontier violence.

The Foundation of an Epic: This is where the greatest friendship in American literature begins. The bond between Natty and Chingachgook is established here in its purest form—a partnership built on mutual respect, shared danger, and an unbreakable code of the woods.

Experience the dawn of the frontier. Purchase "The Deerslayer" today and walk the path of the legend.

Mysteries Of Atlantis

William Scott-Elliot

This classic work, written by Theosophist, W. Scott-Elliot, this book goes into detail about the lost city of Atlantis. The information came from C. W. Leadbeater, who said he received his information from astral clairvoyance. Scott-Elliot provides info on the people of Atlantis, such as their religion, races, different periods money, education, and much more.

Atlantis, is a legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean, lying west of the Strait of Gibraltar. The principal sources for the legend are two of Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. In the former, Plato describes how Egyptian priests, in conversation with the Athenian lawgiver Solon, described Atlantis as an island larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined and situated just beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar). About 9,000 years before the birth of Solon, the priests said, Atlantis was a rich island whose powerful princes conquered many of the lands of the Mediterranean until they were finally defeated by the Athenians and the latter’s allies. The Atlantians eventually became wicked and impious, and their island was swallowed up by the sea as a result of earthquakes. In the Critias, Plato supplied a history of the ideal commonwealth of the Atlantians.

Medieval European writers who received the tale from Arab geographers believed the stories to be true, and later writers tried to identify it with an actual country. After the Renaissance, for example, attempts were made to identify Atlantis with America, Scandinavia, and the Canary Islands. The story of Atlantis, if Plato did not invent it, may in fact reflect ancient Egyptian records of a volcanic eruption on the island of Thera about 1500 BCE. This eruption, one of the most stupendous of historical times, was accompanied by a series of earthquakes and tsunamis that shattered civilization on Crete, thereby perhaps giving rise to the legend of Atlantis.

Quicksand

Nella Larsen

Quicksand is a novel by American author Nella Larsen, first published in 1928. This is her first novel and she completed the first draft quickly. The novel was out of print from the 1930s to the 1970s. Quicksand is a work that explores both cross-cultural and interracial themes. Larsen dedicated the novel to her husband.
Discussing the novel, Jacquelyn Y. McLendon called it the more "obviously autobiographical" of Larsen's two novels. Larsen called the emotional experiences of the novel "the awful truth" in a letter to her friend Carl van Vechten.
Nella Larsen introduces the educated mixed-race protagonist, Helga Crane who struggles to find her identity in a world of racialized crisis in the 1920s. The novel begins with Helga teaching at a southern black school in Naxos which is meant to be a fictional mirroring of the Tuskegee Institute. Helga is the Daughter of a Danish mother who died when she was an adolescent and West Indian father who is absent. Her early years were spent with her Danish mother and White step-father who loathed her and there began her torn relationship with her split identity. The novel gives us a glimpse into the dichotomy of being mixed raced and the divergence into two vastly different worlds as the protagonist travels through uniquely different cultural spaces from 1920's Jazz Age Harlem to Copenhagen, Denmark.
