What reading level is Court Life in Egypt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Natives, Europeans, Levan- tines, and Asiatics how they smoked ! When all the visitors had been presented, the courtiers mounted to the state-room, passed in single file before the Khedive, and in passing bowed and saluted.
A few days later I went to the pyramids of Gizah, anxious to see how they looked in the glory of an Egyptian midsummer. On the way I noticed that the broad plain, which in winter lay covered with green clover and corn, now was black and naked, the thirsty soil baked and gapi...ng with huge cracks, waiting to drink in the Nile, which was fast rising. In the villages men were busily occupied threshing SUMMER SUNSET. 115 and winnowing their grain in primeval fashion. The threshing is done by two oxen dragging a kind of rude cart in a circle over the corn ; the grain is thus loosened, and is winnowed by being tossed in the air, so that the wind may carry off the chaff, which falls in heaps at a little distance.
My companion was a clever and gentlemanly Greek. I had proposed that we should climb the large pyramid, see the sunset, and there dine.
