Thanks for the links! The language is indeed vivid. I think it will take me awhile to finish this book. It's best enjoyed in small bites.

I was surprised to learn that he died so young at 35 when the boat he was traveling on was torpedoed by a U-boat during the war. I suppose he packed more than a typical lifetime of travel and experience into that short period!
