Two volume set. "The Headsman: The Abbaye des Vignerons is an 1833 novel by James Fenimore Cooper set in Switzerland.[1] The novel was inspired by one of Cooper's trips during his European travels in 1832.[2] The novel is one of three of Cooper's "European" novels, following The Bravo and The Heidenmauer, all of which use the European setting to deal with socio-political contrast with American institutions.[3] The novel explores a number of themes related to how society structures itself, including justice, authority, friendship, parental relationships, love and marriage.[4][5]"--Wikipedia
