Parsival (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Parsival It would not have been hard to make game of him on several counts. Whether it had been of his mother, Heartache's intent, or whether circumstances had brought it about in her despite, the boy knew nothing of God nor of the Devil, and, if he had given the matter a thought at all, he would have taken it for granted that no human beings other than Heartache and himself, lived in the world, and that, starting from the log hut, the world would come to an end a few bow-shots away in every direction. But, as you know, this is not the case. The world is exceeding wide-spread, and is peopled by a multitude of folk, who are split up into nations, each one of which speaks its own proper tongue, and also dihers from others in many ways. For these, and other reasons, the lad Parsival might have passed for a dunce, even among boys of his own age, although his stupidness was, in fact, only lack of experience.
