What reading level is The Spirit of the Serb book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And then she called the wife of Damian. " Daughter of mine and wife of Damian, " Couldst thou tell whose hand is this ? " Then answered the wife of Damian : ** Mother of mine, O mother of Damian, " This is the hand of our own Damian, " For I do know the ring, my mother; '« At the betrothal I did have it. " The mother took the hand of Damian, She turned it round, she fondled it.
Then to the hand she softly spake : " O my hand, my fresh green apple, " Where didst thou grow, where wert thou plucke...d ?
*' 'Twas on my bosom thou didst grow ; " The plucking, 'twas on Kosovo's plain. " Speaking, she breathed her soul away.
The Serbs and Croats may fairly claim a special niche in the fane of literature for their ballad poetry. They also possess very charming songs ; but music- ally these cannot for a moment compare with the 26 THE SPIRIT OF THE SERB songs of certain other Slav races, especially the Slovaks, Czechs, and Ruthenes (Ukrainians). This is proved by the primitive nature of their national instruments — the gusla, or one-stringed fiddle, which supplies an ideal atmosphere for recitative verse, but cannot rank high in the musical world ; and the bagpipes, which resemble, not the great warpipe of Scotland, but the more squeaky instrument of the Piedmontese Alps.
