What reading level is The Howadji in Syria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A gleam of soft light, and a warm odor of incense stream outward. In that moment there is no more Franciscan, nor Italian church, nor taper.
Tour knees bend beneath you and your eyes close.
They open upon the Grotto, gorgeous with silver and golden lamps, with vases and heavy tapestries, with marbles and ivories — dim with the smoke of incense, and thick with its breath. In the hush pf sudden splendor it is the secret cave of Ala-ed-deen, and you have rubbed the precious lamp.
Then your sense i...s seized in the voluptuous embrace of the odors,— of the brilliant flames, motionless in the warm air, — of the sheen of tapestry, and the flexile rich- ness of the monks' robes at the altar, and your dazzled sense reels, an intoxicated Eoman, through this Bethle- hem grotto, which the luxurious Hadrian, after Eome had conquered Jerusalem, consecrated to Adonis. — But you see that it is low and irregular, that the ceil- ing and walls are rock — that it is only a rough place of refuge, if you strip away gold and tapestry.
