"Powerful stories of pioneer Arctic men." -Daily Chronicle "A collection of eleven stories about the Canadian north, emphasized the grim atmosphere in which man 'survives only by the stoutness of his heart and the strength of his body.' In these stories Sullivan advances to major ideas; first, that technological advance destroys the balance within nature; second, that Indians and Eskimos are not inferior to, but different from, other races. A constant theme in Sullivan's writing of Northern Canada, that of survival, is stressed repeatedly. European ignorance of the native way of life is ridiculed in 'Trade' and 'The Reward of Swasind.' Most of the conflicts are resolved by physical battles, as in 'The Circuit of the Wild Swans,' where the leader battles another male for a female of the species." -Gordon Duncan McLeod, "Essentially Canadian: The Life and Fiction of Alan Sullivan, 1868-1947" Contents: Trade The Eyes Of Sebastion The Spirit Of The North The Circuit Of The Wild Swan The Blindness Of Pituluk The Magic Of Kahdoosh The Reward Of Kwasind The Loyalty Of Peeguk The Passing Of Chantie, The Curlew The Affair Of Kalauk, The Skilful Hunter The Salving Of Pyack
