What reading level is Egypt in Transition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slowly, very slowly, the fellah is be- ginning to learn that it is safe to be rich, that a man may save money without having his taxes raised upon him in defiance of the assessment, or without being compelled to disgorge to the local officials under the kourbash. He still likes to 174 EGYPT IN TRANSITION keep his investments under his own hand, where he can find them when wanted ; but this is perhaps rather from habit than reason ; for he has discovered by this time 1 hat the era of arbitrary e...xaction is over, and that he has his * rights ' which do not depend upon the caprices of the Pasha or the relative venahty of the nearest tax-gatherer. He leads a dullish life in the village, with few amusements, save the Mohammedan holidays, an occasional wedding or funeral, and the long talks at evening, sitting on the ground with his fellows when the day's work is done. Phy- sically, in spite of those insanitary customs which have been mentioned, he is finely developed, thin-flanked, broad-shouldered, straight-backed, with a wide, flat chest and sinewy arms ; and the women, too, when you see them coming from the well at evening, with the great pitchers poised on their heads, moving lightfully and gracefully, ' With foot so firm To crush the serpent and spare the worm, * you think they might well be the mothers of strong men.
