What reading level is Mainly East in Prose Perhaps Prosey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Smyrna was not a particularly beautiful town ; it was large, it lay in a fine position on the bay, the mountains behind. Many of the houses were I flat-roofed in tropical style, but there was nothing much in the way of fine buildings or fine streets. Although the Greeks were in possession of Smyrna, every other man seemed to be a Turk and to be dressed in Turkish trousers. The width of these trousers round the knee is extra- ordinary. They really are not trousers at all, but hugely pleated pett...icoats, and as the little Zouave coat which accompanies them is generally heavily embroidered, the Turkish costume is ex- tremely pretty, although, like most peasant dresses, expensive, and in former days a matter of family pride, as the clothes generally descended from father to son.
Alas ! all these beautiful costumes are disap- pearing, and the most appalling collection of worn-out, hideous European attire is taking their place. Naturally some of these picturesque old 187 Mainly East Middle East parts are assuming as sordid and frightful an aspect as a European dock, where the people are dressed now in anything so long as it is strictly unpicturesque.
