What reading level is The True Life of Capt. Sir Richard F. Burton .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This ceremony was conducted in a fashion peculiarly African. After bow- ing and touching glasses, the king suddenly wheeled round while two wives stretched a white calico cloth to act as screen, and another pair opened small and gaudy parasols, which completely concealed his figure from the vulgar gaze.
This custom originated partly from the idea that a monarch is too god-like to require refreshment, and partly from the fear of witchcraft, black magic having special power over a person while ea...ting or drinking. The toasts concluded, salutes were fired, Amazons rang bells and sprang rattles, ministers bent to the ground clapping their palms ; pro- digious was the noise. In spite of the uproar, Burton's quick ear detected that the number of salutes in his honour were insufficient, and, as he would never tolerate any slight whilst on duty, he complained to Gelele, who immediately apologised and ordered more.
Quaint indeed were the figures assenjbled in the long, swish- walled, thatched bam and courtyard which did duty as Gelele's summer palace.
