What reading level is The Serf Sisters Or the Russia of to Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Petersburg ! Omar Pasha, a renegade, a Croat who had assumed the turban, a fellow bred a clerk in a public office, had presumed to prove an overmatch in talent and coolness for a veteran general of Russia ! Such audacity, such bare-faced impudence, made the orthodox subjects of the Czar, from the rouge-daubed countess to the oily moujik, join in a shriek of indignant horror when trumpet-toDgued rumour revealed what the Russian news- papers were not rash enough to tell the truth about. Omar Pash...a was defending the line of the Danube with equal skill and resolution ; the Christian population were wicked enough not to rise against their rulers, in spite of all the Czar's pro- clamations, and all the letters of " Anglicanus" in the Times relative to the establishment of "that rogues' and pirates' Utopia, " a Greek empire ; and the fleets of England and France rode side by side in the Turkish waters. Bitter was the resent- ment of Russian officials and Russian agents. To have been beaten at all was disagreeable enough ; but, after all, Narva, Priedland, and Austerlitz, had proved that Muscovites were not invincible ; the venom of the sting was, that a Russian army should have been baffled by a born, not a bred, tactician, THE BUSSIA OF TO-DAY.
