What reading level is Cafe Scheherazade book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each one has its peculiar melody, its distinct tone. Polish and Russian are cool languages. They flow like the Dnieper, the Volga, the Vistula, and the River Bug. German, with its polysyllables, seems to be forever grasping at grandiose abstractions. I hear smatterings of Hungarian and Romanian, and tongues entirely foreign to my ears. And I register countless varieties of English, seasoned by many accents and tongues.
As for Yiddish, it is the main course. A frantic language, propelled by manic... winds and enforced flight, a hybrid, concocted on the run. With bits of this, pieces of that: Slavic, a large dose of Germanic, a hint of the Ukraine, and an echo of the Asiatic steppes. With residues of biblical Hebrew, and other ancient tongues. It is a language of wanderers, of Gypsies, tsigeiner.
‘I am a tsigeiner,’ says Yossel Bartnowski.‘I love to be on the move, always in search of greener fields.’ And he sings: ‘Carefree is the tsigeiner's life.
Farria!
We do not have the Kaiser, taxes to pay.
