What reading level is A Thousand Miles Up the Nile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He cannot afford to let so much as an inch of that kindly mud lie idle.
Gliding along with half-filled sail, we observe how entirely the population seems to be regulated by the extent of arable soil. Where the inundation has room to spread, villages come thicker; more dusky figures are seen moving to and fro in the shade of the palms; more children race along the banks, shrieking for backshish. When the shelf of soil is narrowed, on the contrary, to a mere fringe of luminous green dividing the ...rock from the river, there is a startling absence of everything like life. Mile after mile drags its slow length along, uncheered by any sign of human habitation. When now and then a solitary native.
armed with gun or spear, is seen striding along the edge of the desert, he only seems to make the general solitude more apparent.
Meanwhile, it is not only men and women whom we miss — men laboring by the river side; women with babies 212 A THOUSAND MILES UP THE NILE.
astride on their shoulders, or water-jars balanced on their heads — but birds, beasts, boats; everything that we have been used to see along the river.
