What reading level is The Borgias ; the Cenci book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But in spite of his courage and that of his captains beside him, Astor Manfredi made so good a defence that the besiegers were repulsed wnth great loss of men, while one of their bravest leaders, Honorio Savello, was left behind in the trenches.
But Faenza, in spite of the courage and devotion of her defenders, could not have held out long against so formidable an army, had not winter come to her aid. Surprised by the rigour of the season, with no houses for protection and no trees for fuel, as... the peasants had destroyed both beforehand, the Duke of Valentinois was forced to raise the siege and take up his winter quarters in the neighbouring towns, in order to be quite ready for a return next spring; for Caesar could not forgive the insult of being held in check by a little town which had enj.oyed a long time of peace, was governed by a mere boy, and deprived of all outside aid, and had sworn to take his revenge.
He therefore broke up his army into three sections, sent one-third to Imola, the second to Forli, and himself took the third to Cesena, a third-rate town, which was thus suddenly transformed into a city of pleasure and luxury.
