The result, in my opinion, surpasses even much later science fiction which lacks Hodgson’s dramatic dimension. Despite the author having a controversial relationship with religion, one almost senses in these pages the numinous and irrational sense of the sacred.

The battle is between the world of tradition... and the modern, frenzied world, without god and superstitions, without fear and without an idea of home as a place of roots. Shapeshifting is a cartoonish way of representing all that in human culture refuses to submit to the pure logic of profit and progress.
