        Der letzte Mohikaner. Der Lederstrumpf. Zweiter Band

        In der Bearbeitung der Übersetzung von C. Kolb u.a. durch Rudolf Drescher. Mit Illustrationen von O.C. Darley. Vollständige Ausgabe. 5 Bände. Mit einer Nachbemerkung von Peter Härtling

        by James Fenimore Cooper, D.E. Darley, E. Kolb

        James Fenimore Cooper wurde am 15. September 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey / USA geboren. Nach seiner Geburt gründete sein Vater die Stadt Cooperstown, wo die Familie fortan lebte. 1802 begann Cooper ein Studium an der Universität Yale, der er jedoch drei Jahre später verwiesen wurde. Nach einigen Jahren als Offizier bei der Handels- und Kriegsmarine lebte er mit seiner Familie in Cooperstown, Westchester, Long Island und in New York. Sein erster Roman Precaution (1820) war ein Mißerfolg, doch schon der Nachfolger The Spy (1821) war der Beginn einer erfolgreichen, internationalen Karriere. Heute ist er vor allem durch seine Lederstrumpf-Romane bekannt. Nach einer dreijährigen Europareise ließ er sich ab 1833 endgültig in Cooperstown nieder. Er begann sich kritisch mit Gesellschaftsverhältnissen auseinanderzusetzen, was Ablehnung und Anfeindungen nach sich zog. Mit dem 1840 veröffentlichten The Pathfinder konnte er jedoch wieder an seine früheren Erfolge anknüpfen. Er starb am 14. September 1851 in Cooperstown.

It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

        The big black dog born from a female hound and a wild wolf is regarded by the mountain people as a sinful breed. In order for it to gain the power to survive, its owner has always suppressed its wolf nature. But the "wolfishness" has made him an excellent hunting dog.
