What reading level is The Lost Cities of Ceylon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bell says of it : " There is probably no more handsome speci- men of bold artistic work of its kind in granite to be found in Ceylon than this finely conceived piece of sculpture. " Notice in the panels the dwarfs fighting and boxing and wrestling, the lion figures, the dancing girl and others.
The lion is 7 feet 4 inches in height, and was pieced together with great ingenuity, having fallen altogether from his high estate. He stands out " in the round, " and it is difficult to do justice to hi...s extreme virility and audacity. Perhaps of all that we know of the habits of ancient Ceylon, the variety of architectural design bestowed on open-air bathing-places is the most attractive. The large pokunas, with their massive hewn blocks and carved steps and their charming little pillared dressing-chambers ; the deep-cut, rock-hewn pools; and the most original single baths such as this and the famous lotus-bath at Polonnaruwa, all show care and design in this type of work which no people have ever surpassed.
