What reading level is Devia Cypria Notes of An Archaeological Journey in Cyprus in 1888 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the next four centuries it was taken and re- taken by the partisans of Frederick II, by Philip of Navarre, and by the Genoese, until the Venetians finally reduced it to its present condition of ruin.
The plain of Davlos, Phlamoudhi, and Akanthou is the richest charub and grain district in the island. A special assessment is assigned by the Revenue officers to its crop, and, after tithe has been taken, each peasant stores his surplus in funnel-shaped pits, called ' vouphes, ' dug in the c...lay or soft rock, and baked by a fire lighted inside — similar to those found on the site of the temple at Paphos. But much prosperity has hardened the hearts of the natives, and I met nowhere with such scant civility and such stolid reticence as in Akanthou. The untutored rascality of the Paphiti and the simple ignorance of the Carpasiotes are both to be preferred to the more civilised cunning of the Greeks of the centre of Cyprus. Maania. Wc have already passed the proper limits of the Carpass, but it will be well to continue for a few miles to the west, to reach the site of Macaria.
