What reading level is Spain And Morocco Studies in Local Color book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The parlez- vous was evidently all the fransais he knew. Hence I could not reprove him for taking me, a harmless- THE "INFIDEL CITY" OF MOROCCO 91 looking individual with eye-glasses, for a ghoulish bone-pirate.
Many other instances might be given showing how deeply the Moors have sunk from the position occupied by their ancestors in Spain, who at one time were the advance guard of the civilized world, had famous universities, and built masterpieces of architecture at Cordova and Granada which ...are still the chief boast of Spain, four centuries after the ex- pulsion of the Moors. In Tangier there is no trace of that old civilization, not even a mosque with any pretensions to beauty. The chief mosque has some pretty mosaics on the outside, but otherwise is hardly worth looking at, the interior, too, being said to be very plain. Unbelievers are not allowed to enter a mosque in Morocco, which in this respect is less tolerant than Turkey. The Sultan, however, has unbent so far as to allow the building of a catholic chapel (Spanish) ; but then the followers of the Prophet look upon Tangier as an " infidel city, " hopelessly defiled by the presence of so many Chris- tians.
