What reading level is The New Frontiers of Freedom From the Alps to the Gean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dreary ex- panse of the Bukovica, lying between Zara and the Bosnian frontier, is, without exception, the most inhospitable region that I have ever seen. For mile after mile, far as the eye can see, the earth is overlaid by a thick stratum of jagged limestone, so rough that no horse could traverse it, so sharp and flinty that a quarter of an hour's walking across it would cut to pieces the stout- est pair of boots. Under the rays of the sum- mer sun these rocks become as hot as the top of a... stove; so hot, indeed, that eggs can be cooked upon them, while metal objects exposed for only a few minutes to the sun will burn the hand. Scattered here and there over this terrible plateau are tiny farmsteads, their houses and the walls shutting in the little patches under cultivation being built from the stones obtained in clearing the soil, a task re- quiring incredible patience. No wonder that BORDERLAND SLAV AND LATIN 89 the folk who dwell in them are characterized by expressions as stony and hopeless as the soil from which they wring a wretched existence.
