To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then with the snow squall driving on beforethem leaving the trampled snow ahead freshly smoothed, and lighting thedarkness of the night, there was a dull, grinding, creaking sound ofwheels and yielding snow as it was trampled down into a better road, andgood progress was made, for the slope in advance was more gradual, andthe hollows and pitfalls between the rugged stones that strewed the waywere levelled down.
It was a strange and weird procession, as Marcus tramped on step by stepwith Serge, ...behind the chariot, into which Lupe had suddenly leaped tostand with his paws planted upon the front of the vehicle, which nowlooked as if it had been turned into silver. And there were momentswhen the boy felt that it must all be part of a dream.
But there was nothing dream-like in the sounds that came downwardbetween the great snowy walls, for they were those of desperatefighting--the shouts of defiance of the Roman soldiers mingled with thebarbarous cries of the Gauls, who had gathered together again in thegreat gateway from which they had been driven by the troops of CaiusJulius, and were now striving to prevent the descent of the Romanrear-guard into their fruitful plains, and if possible entrap these newtroops between their own forces, which were holding them shut in thedeep, long, wintry gorge.
