What reading level is Arabia Infelix; Or, the Turks in Yamen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Piercing the northern wall of Sanaa is the Bab esh-Shaab, an important gateway through which comes a stream of market-produce every morning ; sluggish camels with merchandise from afar, and droves of small, rat-tailed donkeys scurrying past with loads of fodder and firewood, and kerosene cases full of grapes. Midway along the southern wall, opposite the Bab esh- Shaab, is the Bab al-Yamen, through which gate the SANAA 73 caravan-traffic flows towards Dhamar, Yerim and Ibb. There is not much doi...ng this way since the bulk of Ottoman troops rolled up from that direction in 1913.
Strategically, the most important gateway of the whole city is the triple port of Bab es-Sba, a name given to three adjacent gates, two of which face north and south, on either side of the narrow neck that joins the quarter of Bir al-Azab to the main town, about five hundred yards apart. The third is a massive central arch, crowned and flanked by a strong guard-house and quarters for troops and police. Through this arch, which is almost a tunnel, runs the road joining the native town with the Ottoman quarter of Bir al-Azab this side of the arch still bears the mark of cannon-shot, a memento of street fighting.
