What reading level is Tripoli the Mysterious book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Glorified dust, whirling swallows, calls to sunset devotion, the silent desert close-clasping, on-coming moonlight, the coolness and blossom odour — these were Tripoli.
66 XI The Roman Arch and Ancient Remains Enticing as the native life of modern times proved — homely ancestral arts, picturesque decay, thronging tribes — more suggestive, pathetic, absolutely engrossing, was the om- nipresent evidence of a splendid period long since perished. The whole region is rich in ruins, edifices, tombs, ...arches, columns, pave- ments, sculpture in scattered fragments, great aqueducts, but all covered by resistlessly mov- ing desert sands or whitewashed, blurred and broken, spoiled by carelessness, ignorance, fanaticism. The grandeur of that long-gone age cannot be concealed even by such wholesale slaughter of the beautiful. Despite the ravages of time and the deplorable neglect of man, even in mutilation the ruin still bears noble witness to a civilization which once held the world captive.
