en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2004
Jack Tier V2 is a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper, published in 1848. It is a sequel to his earlier work, The Pilot, and continues the story of the seafaring adventures of the main character, Jack Tier. The book is set during the 19th century and follows Jack as he navigates the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean, encountering pirates, smugglers, and other dangers along the way. The story also explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as Jack's relationships with his fellow sailors and the women in his life are tested. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of life at sea, as well as its portrayal of the complex social and political issues of the time. Overall, Jack Tier V2 is a thrilling and engaging tale of adventure, romance, and intrigue on the high seas.Spike, for a seaman of his degree of education, was not particularly addicted to the weakness to which we have just alluded. Nevertheless, he was not altogether free from it; and recent circumstances contributed to dispose him so much the more to admit a feeling which, like sin itself, is ever the most apt to insinuate itself at moments of extraordinary moral imbecility, and through the openings left by previous transgression. As his brig stood off from the light, the captain paced the deck, greatly disturbed by what had just passed, and unable to account for it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Notă biografică

James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it. Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians, Cooper's works on the early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.
