To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides my guide I had taken with me an armed peasant, and after a troublesome walk we arrived at night at a vast natural cavern, inhabited by a Mahommedan family. After going through a wide and pretty long passage, we perceived at the other end a part of the family assembled round a fire, and em- ployed in preparing supper, which consisted'principally of a kind of bouilli, mixed with wild herbs and gruel made of wheat. I was wet through by the rain, and had walked all day barefooted. This fire... was, therefore, insufficient to warm me, although the persons and cattle which came in at sun-set, filled nearly all the cavern. I should probably have passed a bad night, if the old father of the family had not kindly thought of conducting us, after supper, to another cavern at a small distance. After hav- 27 ing passed a door of ordinary size, we found there all the flock of goats belonging to this Troglodite, and at the end a large empty space, where they had lighted for us the immense trunk of a tree, whose cheerful blaze invited us to sleep around it The fire was kept in all night, and the chief of this hospitable family brought us also a good mess of rice.
