What reading level is The Clean Fighting Turk Yesterday to Day And to Morrow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hindoo dedicates flowers to his divinity, whose various attributes they represent to his imagination ; but it is in Turkey alone, and in the harems, that we find this mysterious language, to which there exists nothing similar among other Oriental nations. Our fair countrywoman, however, who has thrown a brilliant, and rather a voluptuous colouring over the manners of the harem, has also much exaggerated the merit of these hiero- glyphics of love; and the " millions of verses, " of which she... speaks, dwindle down to about two hundred before the researches of the learned. This language of flowers is merely the amusement of the secluded fair ones, and a knowledge of it can only be acquired from the slaves of the harem. A learned Turk, to whom J. Von Hammer applied for information on the subject, was highly offended at the freedom, and replied, indignantly, that he was not a woman's slave.
There is no art more adapted to soothe uneasy passions, or to recreate the weariness . Of confinement, than that of music, and we might, therefore, naturally expect to find it the amusement of the Turkish women.
