To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The land, the sea, the air, ice, and snow, have great individual spirits that ever engage in battle with each other. Even mountains, val- leys, rocks, icebergs, wood, iron, fire — all have spirits. All of this gives them a keen interest in shadows in an otherwise desert of gloom and death. Their entire religious creed would require a long time to work out. Even that part of it which is repre- sented by the shadow is quite beyond me. As I ob- served in our following marches toward Svartevoeg, th...eir keen eyes detect in shadows incidents and messages of life, histories that would fill volumes. The shadow is long or short, clear-cut or vague, dark or Ught, blue or purple, violet or black. Each phase of it has a special IN GAME TRAILS TO LAND'S END 181 significance. It presages luck or ill-luck on the chase, sickness and death in the future, the presence or unrest of the souls of parted friends. Even the souls of the living sometimes get mixed. Then there is love or in- trigue. All the passions of wild Ufe can be read from the shadows.
