To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the incessant, the inevitable watch- cry of the Moghreb. We quit these noisy streets and roam through gloomy labyrinths of lanes, passages, blind alleys, where awful silence reigns, where carcases are rotting. We stumble over big, lean, mangy cats with bristling backs, climb heaps of refuse, piles of rubbish ; we skirt yawning holes, at the bottom of which the waters of underground canals run with a dull noise, gleaming with a cold lustre. Then we suddenly emerge on open spaces, orchards, garde...ns, lanes lined by low walls, cracked by the sun, covered by yellow lichen, saxifrage, slender plants, bushes, above which fig-trees spread their twisted branches ; orange-trees laden with fruit form a bower over our heads, and the breeze warmed by the sun sweeps by with fragrant odours. On every side you hear the tricklincr of water, the rolling of millwheels. You constantly come across streams of water rushing from mossy walls and disappearing with a hollow murmur under vaults. Donkeys laden with sacks of corn and flour pass by, driven by STREET IM FEZ.
