What reading level is Greece And the Golden Horn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Towards the west the elevation is less, though very considerable, whilst the circuit of moun tains towards the east is completed by many swells and broken ridges, among which the valley is impercepti bly blended and lost in an Alpine background.
The village of Kastri is one of the most crowded, filthy, and mean in a country where all are miserable enough. The streets zig-zag without reason. They are so narrow that you can hardly ride through them on your mule, and so precipitous as to test the ...skill of that sagacious animal. To add to the difficulty and disgust, piles of manure and offensive offal are abun dant. It was by such approaches that we arrived near the sacred Castalian Spring. And here, as if to teach us how closely allied are the sublime and the ridicu lous how near a neighbor, sentiment is to vulgarity our approach to the source of poetic inspiration was literally blocked up, not by the sacred nine guarding the portals of Apollo from the profane, but by just twelve washer- women, the most coarse and unclassical of the genus, half clad in hairy-stuff petticoats of un- dyed wool, ragged and dirty, and extending just below the knee !
