Summary

In 'JAMES FENIMORE COOPER 'Äì Ultimate Collection,' readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology of Cooper's literary genius, showcasing over thirty meticulously crafted adventure novels, Western classics, and seafaring tales. Rich in thematic depth, the narratives encapsulate the essence of early American life and frontier spirit while fostering a distinct literary style characterized by vivid descriptions, moral complexity, and psychological realism. The collection is underscored by Cooper's fascination with nature and the American landscape, reflecting the broader national contexts of the early 19th century and the burgeoning literary movements that sought to articulate a uniquely American voice. James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), often hailed as the first American novelist, profoundly influenced the development of American literature through his exploration of identity, nature, and civilization's impact on the frontier. His upbringing in a wealthy New York family and experiences as a sailor provided him with the rich life experiences that informed his narratives. Cooper's passion for the American wilderness and its historical significance spurred him to write compelling stories that explore the interactions between Native Americans and settlers, as well as the complexities of moral choices in uncharted territories. For both aficionados of American literature and new readers alike, this ultimate collection serves as an invaluable resource, offering an enthralling journey through Cooper's imaginative worlds. Enriched with illustrations, this anthology not only preserves the legacy of Cooper'Äôs storytelling prowess but also invites readers to engage with the gripping tales of adventure and the moral intricacies framed within the context of a rapidly evolving nation.

    Macbeth and his wife show how bad the evil that can possess human souls is. But evil is not all powerful. On the one hand, Macbeth is the gloomiest of the great Shakespeare's tragedies; on the other hand, it's more encouraging than Hamlet, Othello or King Lear. In no other tragedy as in Macbeth the evil is confronted by so many people, and nowhere else they are so active.
Shakespeare is the author of the world famous sonnets and plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello, as well as comedies Twelfth Night, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Love's Labour's Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and As You Like It. William Shakespeare is the most performed playwright, the works of the great English poet have been on top of the world theatre stages for some centuries already.

    Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
