To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the antechamber we found a phenomenally stupid monk presiding overthe sale of the indispensable tapers, and the offerings which the devoutare expected to deposit, on emerging, as a memento of their visit. Theseofferings lay like mountains of copper before him. The guide had takenhimself off somewhere, and the monk ordered us, and the five Russianswho were also waiting, to go in alone and "call to the monk in thecave. " We flatly declined to take his word that there was any monk, orto venture... into the dangerous labyrinth alone, and we demanded that heshould accompany us.
"No guide--no candles, no coppers, " we said.
That seemed to him a valid argument. Loath to leave his money at themercy of chance comers, he climbed up and closed the iron shutters ofthe grated window, --the cliff descended, sheer, one hundred and two feetto the Dnyepr at that point, --double-locked the great iron doors, andthere we were in a bank vault, with all possible customers excluded. Luckily, the saints in these caverns, which differed very little fromthose in the former, were labeled in plain letters, since the monk wastoo dull-witted to understand the simplest questions from any of us.
