To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Korzh saw the sacks--and was mollified. "A fine fellow, Peter, quiteunequalled! yes, and did I not love him? Was he not to me as my ownson?" And the old fellow repeated this fiction until he wept over ithimself. Pidorka began to tell Peter how some passing gipsies had stolenIvas; but he could not even recall him--to such a degree had the Devil'sinfluence darkened his mind! There was no reason for delay. The Pole wasdismissed, and the wedding-feast prepared; rolls were baked, towels andhandkerch...iefs embroidered; the young people were seated at table;the wedding-loaf was cut; guitars, cymbals, pipes, viols sounded, andpleasure was rife.
A wedding in the olden times was not like one of the present day. Mygrandfather's aunt used to tell how the maidens--in festive head-dressesof yellow, blue, and pink ribbons, above which they bound gold braid; inthin chemisettes embroidered on all the seams with red silk, and strewnwith tiny silver flowers; in morocco shoes, with high iron heels--dancedthe gorlitza as swimmingly as peacocks, and as wildly as the whirlwind;how the youths--with their ship-shaped caps upon their heads, the crownsof gold brocade, and two horns projecting, one in front and anotherbehind, of the very finest black lambskin; in tunics of the finest bluesilk with red borders--stepped forward one by one, their arms akimboin stately form, and executed the gopak; how the lads--in tall Cossackcaps, and light cloth gaberdines, girt with silver embroidered belts, their short pipes in their teeth--skipped before them and talkednonsense.
