À propos de ce contenu audio
The hero of The Pilot - modeled on John Paul Jones - leads the American Navy in dangerous raids on the English coast. James Fenimore Cooper's fourth novel, published in 1823, helped start the genre of sea novels. Cooper's other major works include the renowned Leatherstocking Tales: The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prarie, The Pathfinder, and The Deerslayer.

This 1824 sea tale about the fictionalized exploits of real-life Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones capitalized on James Fenimore Cooper's experience as a midshipman in the U.S. Navy. Though the audiobook showcases Cooper's extensive knowledge of sailors and the sea, the action takes place mostly on land - the northeastern coast of England, to be exact.
