What reading level is Persia As It is Being Sketches of Modern Persian Life And Character book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
209 man, the most stalwart of tlie fraternity, bearing an ox- skin of huge size, staggers along in front. Many are the remarks as the hand of water-carriers advances. " Ah, what would our Houssein have given for one drop of water ! Ah, woe for Houssein ! " for the principal portion of the martyr's sufferings was caused by thirst. Next comes a crowd of dervishes : each man carries a heavy double chain with which he scourges and with a will, too his naked back. Keeping time as they shout, " Houss...ein ! Hassan ! " at the second syllable of each word, down come the chains on the bruised flesh. Then follow (on one of the days only) a smaller but devoted band: these are the men who have vowed to shed their blood in honour of the martyr. Each man (as did the martyr when he went out to die at the sword's point) wears a shroud of white cotton, which throws up in cruel ghastliness hia strange occupation. With the drawn sword they carry in their hands, these men hack their own foreheads ; the blood flows in streams on to the white shrouds; some even faint from exhaustion, and the group of bleeding fanatics excites the crowd to pity and compassion.
