What reading level is Ivory, Apes & Peacocks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus he * R ^J m falls an easy prey to the guns. This is a J* c yntt>) very Bowdlerised edition of tiger-shooting, is it not?
All round Amber is the tiger country ; indeed, so wild is the scenery, that one thinks one might pot a tiger from the palace window.
The Maharajah also cultivates live tigers, keep- ing them in a kind of miniature Zoo in the city of Jeypore. I went to see them — magnificent brutes with velvet hides, sleek and supple and splendid, fearsome beasts, fierce from the Amber ju...ngles. I should think the catching of a tiger must be a dainty job !
One sees strange barbaric things in the old uncivilised palace of Amber.
Besides the excellent billiard-table and the shrine of the goddess Durga, I saw the old bro- caded chariot in which the Maharanee of long ago used to drive her slaves like horses — silver bits in their mouths, silken reins in her hands.
To me the sentiment of Amber suggests that of Chopin, strangely, — its dead barbarisms, its moonlight seclusion, its pensive romance, the endless illusion that Time has woven round its 95 JEYPORE mouldering splendours, its " dead past " atmos- Rose- m phere, — Chopin and Shelley.
