What reading level is Christopher Columbus And the New World of His Discovery — volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is deception and untruth somewhere; and one must make one's choicebetween regarding the story in the first place as a lie, or accepting itas truth, and putting down Columbus's silence about it on a lateroccasion to a rare instinct of judicious suppression. There are otherfacts in his life, to which, we shall come later, that are in accordancewith this theory. There is no doubt, moreover, that Columbus had a verygreat experience of the sea, and was one of the greatest practicalseamen, if n...ot the greatest, that has ever lived; and it would be foolishto deny, except for the greatest reasons, that he made a voyage to thefar North, which was neither unusual at the time nor a very greatachievement for a seaman of his experience.
Christopher returned from these voyages, of which we know nothing exceptthe facts that he has given us, towards the end of 1477; and it wasprobably in the next year that an event very important in his life andcareer took place. Hitherto there has been no whisper of love in thatarduous career of wool-weaving, sailoring, and map-making; and it is notunlikely that his marriage represents the first inspiration of love inhis life, for he was, in spite of his southern birth, a cool-blooded man, for whom affairs of the heart had never a very serious interest.
