To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Acting upon this conviction, I reperused all the old traditions, Icalled to my aid that peculiar lore of nations which is embodied intheir legends, and which is so vividly, so amiably, and so ingenuouslyexpressed. I interrogated the story-tellers of every country, Indian, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, French, German, English, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Russian, Lithuanian, andeven the hoary old wayside narrators of the far Thibet. I plunged intothis ocean of fancy... with the recklessness of an accomplished diver, but, --must I acknowledge it?--less fortunate than even Montaigne withhis history, I have succeeded in bringing back only one woman that I cancall really good, and her I have had to disinter from under the ice andsnows of the North, in a wild country, too, and among a people who arenot so delicate and refined as though Paris were in Norway. From Cadizto Stockholm, from London to Cairo and Delhi, from Paris to Teheran andSamarcand, if the stories are to be believed, there are artful girls andscheming mothers, in any quantity; but the _good woman_!--where does shelie hid, and why do they never tell us anything about her?
