Educated at Yale, he spent five years at sea, as a foremast hand and then as a midshipman in the navy. At thirty he was suddenly plunged into a literary career when his wife challenged his claim that he could write a better book that the English novel he was reading to her. The result was \u003cb\u003ePrecaution\u003c\/b\u003e (1820), a novel of manners. His second book, \u003cb\u003eThe Spy\u003c\/b\u003e (1821), was an immediate success, and with \u003cb\u003eThe Pioneers\u003c\/b\u003e (1823) he began his series of Leatherstocking Tales. By 1826 when \u003cb\u003eThe Last of the Mohicans\u003c\/b\u003e appeared, his standing as a major novelist was clearly established. From 1826 to 1833 Cooper and his family lived and traveled in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. Two of his most successful works, \u003cb\u003eThe Prairie\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Red Rover\u003c\/b\u003e, were published in 1827. He returned to Otsego Hall in 1834, and after a series of relatively unsuccessful books of essays, travel sketches, and history, he returned to fiction - and to Leatherstocking - with \u003cb\u003eThe Pathfinder\u003c\/b\u003e (1840) and \u003cb\u003eThe Deerslayer\u003c\/b\u003e (1841). In his last decade he faced declining popularity brought on in part by his waspish attacks on critics and political opponents. Just before his death in 1851 an edition of his works led to a reappraisal of his fiction and somewhat restored his reputation as the first of American writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 7.75 x 5.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52519269073203,"sku":"9780140390711","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/a3FOR2czYXducGFZVVZwdUQ0eVF1UT09.webp?v=1760493248","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-pathfinder-or-the-inland-sea-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
