What reading level is Impressions of South Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The brilliance of the stars is such that only the fatigue of the long day— for one must always start by or be- fore sunrise to spare the animals dm-ing the sultry noon— and the difficulty of sitting down in a great, bare, flat land, where there is not a large stone and seldom even a tree, can drive one into the vehicle to sleep. The meals, con- sisting of tinned meat and biscuits, with eggs and some- times a small, lean, and desiccated chicken, are very scanty and very monotonous, but the air i...s so dry and fresh and bracing that one seems to find meat and drink in it.
Next day we came, at the foot of the Matoppo Hills, to a solitary farm, where we found a bright young English- man, who, with only one white companion, had established himself in this wilderness and was raising good crops on fields to which he brought water from a neighlioriug streamlet. Even the devastation wrought by a blight of locusts had not dispirited him nor diminished his faith in the country. It is not the least of the pleasures of such a journey that one finds so many cheery, hearty, sanguine young fellows scattered about this country, some of them keeping or helping to keep stores, some of them, like our friend here, showing what the soil may be made to do with 236 IMPRESSIONS OF SOUTH AFRICA skill and perseverance, and how homes may be reared upon it.
