What reading level is The Autobiography of a Spanish Adventurer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ensign had learned of the arms and had not reported them; ergo, he had taken a bride. He was now in retirement between Castile and Aragon, in a mountainous stronghold; ergo, he was himself the 13 king of the moriscos, and was about to head an uprising! Such was police logic of the day, and it nearly cost the Captain his life. He was thrown into prison, questioned, taken to Hornachos to identify the house, confronted with the commissioner, who denied in toto, tortured (not too severely) and ...finally released on parole. Contreras, eager above all to clear his name and that of his family, broke parole to gather testimony from some of the soldiers who had been with him at the time. Then he returned to Madrid to give himself up, and found that he had done the best thing possible. He was at once acquitted, given a goodly sum of money and a captain's commission in Flanders. The commissioner, who was rich and had backers of high station, was let off with a short exile. Thus ended our hero's only attempt to behave like a saint.
