What reading level is A Summers Cruise in the Waters of Greece Turkey And Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Byzantians were weakened by long divisions and individual selfishness. They had estranged the people of Western Europe, who could have helped them, or who might, if they had not been too busy fighting among themselves. And the inflexible purpose of Mohammed was accomplished in the downfall of the city.
The Turks had long cherished designs for the capture of Constantinople. Since their formation as a separate power, their eyes have always been westward. They conquered Phrygia and Bithynia, f...rom Antioch looking towards Brusa, and from Brusa towards Nice, and from Nice towards Byzantium. They were possessed with all the fiery ardour of Islam. The doctrine of the prophet was like honey to their lips, and unction to their souls. War was their element; the battle-field was their home. As soon as ever Con- stantinople came within the sphere of their vision, it was coveted as a supreme prize, not only because of its com- manding position, and as the natural seat of extensive empire, but because the prophet had said that the sins should be forgiven of the first army that captured the city of the Caesars.
