To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Do I not know all this is Guayana? But beyond, andbeyond, and beyond? Is there no end to Guayana?" "Yes; there northwards it ends at the Orinoco, a mighty river, comingfrom mighty mountains, compared with which Ytaioa is like a stone on theground on which we have sat down to rest. You must know that guayana isonly a portion, a half, of our country, Venezuela. Look, " I continued, putting my hand round my shoulder to touch the middle of my back, "thereis a groove running down my spine dividing m...y body into equal parts. Thus does the great Orinoco divide Venezuela, and on one side of it isall Guayana; and on the other side the countries or provinces of Cumana, Maturm, Barcelona, Bolivar, Guarico, Apure, and many others. " I thengave a rapid description of the northern half of the country, with itsvast llanos covered with herds in one part, its plantations of coffee, rice, and sugar-cane in another, and its chief towns; last of allCaracas, the gay and opulent little Paris in America. This seemed to weary her; but the moment I ceased speaking, and beforeI could well moisten my dry lips, she demanded to know what came afterCaracas--after all Venezuela.
