What reading level is A Journey in Brazil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were received as old friends, and made welcome to all the house would afford ; but, though as clean as ever, it looked poorer than on our former visit. I saw neither dried fish nor mandioca nor farinlia, and the woman told me that she found it very hard to sup- port her large family, now that the husband and father was away.
The quantity of detached grass, shrubs, &c. Carried past the vessel, as we lie here at anchor, is amazing, — floating gardens, sometimes half an acre in extent. Some of ...these green rafts are inhabited ; water-birds go sailing by upon tliem, and large animals are occasionally carried down the river in this way. The commander told me that, on one occasion, when an English vessel was lying at anchor in the Parana, one of these grassy gardens was seen coming down the river with two deer upon it. The current brought it directly against the ship, and the captain had only to receive on board the guests who arrived thus unexpectedly to demand his hospitality. In the same river another floating island brought with it a less agreeable inhabitant : a large tiger had possessed himself of it and was sailing majestically with the current, passing so near the shores that he was distinctly seen from the banks ; and people went out in montarias to get a nearer view of him, though keeping always at a respectful distance.
