What reading level is Visits to Monasteries in the Levant book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We crawled up like so many drowned rats into the upper rooms, where we were met by the whole troop of ladies giggling, screaming, and talking, as if they had never stopped since we left them a week before. When the baggage came to be undone, alas ! what a wreck was there ! The coffee and the sugar and the shirts had formed an amalgam ; mud, shoes, and cambric handkerchiefs all came out together ; not a thing was dry. The only consolation was that the beautiful illuminated manuscripts of Meteora... had not participated in this dirty deluge.
I was wet to the skin, and my boots were full of water. In this dilemma I asked if our hosts could not lend me something to put on until some of my own clothes could be dried. The ladies were full of pity and compassion ; but unfortunately all the men were from home, not having returned from their daily occu- pations in the bazaar, and their clothes could not be got at. At last the good-humoured young bride, see- ing that wherever I stood there was always, in a couple of minutes' time, a puddle upon the floor, entered into an animated consultation with the other ladies, and before long they brought me a shirt, and an immense Chap.
