Im Zentrum steht erneut der legendäre Waldläufer Natty Bumppo, genannt Lederstrumpf, der diesmal an den Ufern des Lake Ontario gegen Intrigen, feindliche Überfälle und innere Zweifel kämpft. Dabei begegnet er nicht nur gefährlichen Gegnern, sondern auch der Liebe – und muss sich zwischen Herz und Pflicht entscheiden. Cooper erzählt mit epischer Weite und moralischer Tiefe, geprägt von seiner Bewunderung für die Natur und der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schicksal der indigenen Bevölkerung Nordamerikas.

Die Geschichte spielt im 18. Jahrhundert in Nordamerika und folgt den Abenteuern von Natty Bumppo, auch bekannt als „Lederstrumpf". Als erfahrener Jäger und Fährtenleser gerät er in den Konflikt zwischen Kolonisten und Ureinwohnern und kämpft für Gerechtigkeit in der unerbittlichen Wildnis. Coopers Roman ist ein Meilenstein der Abenteuerliteratur und fasziniert bis heute mit seinen spannenden Jagdszenen, Naturbeschreibungen und packenden Kämpfen.

Die Geschichte spielt während des Franzosen- und Indianerkriegs im 18. Jahrhundert und folgt dem Waldläufer Natty Bumppo (Lederstrumpf), seinem indianischen Gefährten Chingachgook und dessen Sohn Unkas, dem letzten Mohikaner. Auf dramatische Weise verknüpft Cooper Themen wie Naturverbundenheit, koloniale Gewalt, kulturellen Umbruch und persönliche Treue. Ein spannungsgeladenes Epos über den Verlust einer Welt – reich an Naturbildern, Action und emotionaler Tiefe.
