To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Three or four men come in, mounted on themerest skeletons of horses blind or blind-folded and so weak that theycould not make a sudden turn with their riders without danger of fallingdown. The men are armed with spears having a point as sharp as aneedle. Other men enter the arena on foot, armed with red flags andexplosives about the size of a musket cartridge. To each of theseexplosives is fastened a barbed needle which serves the purpose ofattaching them to the bull by running the needle into ...the skin. Beforethe animal is turned loose a lot of these explosives are attached tohim. The pain from the pricking of the skin by the needles isexasperating; but when the explosions of the cartridges commence theanimal becomes frantic. As he makes a lunge towards one horseman, another runs a spear into him. He turns towards his last tormentor whena man on foot holds out a red flag; the bull rushes for this and isallowed to take it on his horns. The flag drops and covers the eyes ofthe animal so that he is at a loss what to do; it is jerked from him andthe torment is renewed.
