What reading level is Art in Greece book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Add, finally, the exquisite brilliancy of the sun which pushes to extremes the contrast between light parts and shadows and which gives an opposition of masses to precision of lines. Thus does Nature, through the forms with which she peoples the mind, directly incline the Greek to fixed and precise conceptions. She again inclines him to them indirectly through the order of political association to which she leads and re- strains him.
Greece, indeed, is a small country compared with its fame, an...d it will seem to you still smaller if you observe how divided it is. The principal chains on one side of the sea and the lateral chains on the other separate a number of distinct provinces form- ART IN GREECE. 37 ing so many circumscribed districts Thessaly, Boe- otia, Argos, Messenia, Laconia and all the islands. It is difficult to traverse the sea in barbarous ages, while mountain defiles are always available for defense. The populations of Greece -accordingly could easily protect themselves against invasion and exist along- side of each other in small independent communities.
