Having long since become a household phrase, "The Last of the Mohicans" is one of the most famous Native American and adventure novels in world literature. Cooper's gripping portrayal of an odyssey through the American wilderness has captivated generations of readers and has been adapted into film numerous times for good reason. The most beautiful adaptation to date comes from master director Michael Mann, who has uniquely brought to life the suggestive imagery of the novel, with its bloody battles and wild passions set against breathtaking nature.
