What reading level is Antony And Cleopatra book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The only cheering news was that those along the river who had survived the plague seemed immune to it, as was equally true in the Delta and Alexandria. These folk were hardier, healthier. Sosigenes had been visited by an idea, and issued an edict in Pharaoh’s name; it ordered that the lowest sections of Nilus’s banks be broken down a further five feet. If any water came over the tops of these prepared gaps, it would flow into huge ponds excavated in advance. All around the rims of the ponds sto...od treadmill water wheels ready to feed water into shallow channels snaking off across the parched fields. And when mid-July brought an Inundation down in the Cubits of Death, the river rose just high enough to fill the ponds. This was a far easier way of irrigating by hand than the traditional shaduf, a single bucket that had to be dipped into the river itself.
And people were people, even in the midst of death; babies had been born, the population was increasing. But Egypt would eat.
The threat from Rome was in temporary abeyance; her agents told Cleopatra that from Tarsus Antony had gone to Antioch, paid calls on Tyre and Sidon, then taken ship for Ephesus.
