What reading level is The Evil of the East Or Truths About Turkey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We once saw a poor Paris milliner whipped and half strangled by a palace official of standing whom she had civilly asked to pay her bill. Many European tradespeople, especially women, are afraid to present their bills without being attended by the kavas or gendarme of their consulate. The Turk is furious at having to pay his debts to a Christian, and regrets the good old time when the giaour could be fleeced with impunity.
Another source of worry in Ottoman households is the number of servants ...employed. In every respectable family there are a whole shoal of domestics each with a special function to perform and who on no account would consent to do anything else. One opens the door ; another draws water ; a third looks after the fires ; and so on. In the harem there is kitchenmaid, a washerwoman, a semps- tress, a nurse for each baby and even a woman to dress the little girls' dolls ! Then there are black slaves ; and eunuchs.
We confess our inability to understand how, in the year of grace, 1888, Europe still tolerates the existence of eunuchs.
