What reading level is Miguel De Cervantes : His Life & Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having laid an embargo on certain wheat belonging to a priest, in his capacity of tax-collector, Cervantes was seized hold of by the corregidar of Ecija, and confined for three months in the prison of Castro del Rio. The clergy then, and for some time afterwards, were exempt from most of the taxes levied on the King's subjects.
This was the first of the mishaps in which Cervantes was involved in the course of his humble employment.
In the midst of these uncongenial occupations we get just one g...limpse of the man of letters. In 1595, on the occasion of the canonisation of San Jacinto, a Dominican house at Zaragoza offered a prize of three silver spoons to "5 Cervantes the man who should make the best gloss on a quatrain in praise of the new saint. Cervantes entered the lists as a competitor, and succeeded in winning the first prize — the three spoons. Who shall say that letters were neglected under the reign of Philip II.? — In 1596 Cervantes found a very different, probably a more grateful, theme for his pen.
