What reading level is Anastasius Or Memoirs of a Greek Written At the Close of the Eighteenth Centu book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One morning, after he had attracted the eye of a Turkish visitor of some distinction, he suddenly fell on his face, crying : " he saw the prophet, and was not only bidden by him to embrace Islamism, * but actu- ally instructed how to perform its rites ;" of which indeed he forthwith acquitted himself with great dex- terity. The bait took with the stranger ; but the farce was laughed at by the familiars of the place, who told Yacoob he might go to the Mosque if he chose, but reminded him that th...ere was one in the Bagnio. This damped his religious ardour, and the vision sneaked off, as visions do. Still did he from time to time repeat his grimaces ; and he was always ob- served to invoke Allah most lustily, when a stranger came in sight, whose heart he had hopes of moving. It was curious to see the holy violence with which, on these occasions, he went through his Namaz, 3 un- til large drops of perspiration trickled down his greasy face. No disappointments had power to stop these pious but unavailing exercises.
