What reading level is Across Persia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According, then, to the custom of the country, we reined our horses in on the occasion of our visit to the Governor as soon as we got to the courtyard, and in our subsequent advance we should have been easily beaten by a funeral. Eventually, however, we arrived at the gateway, where we were met by some rather dowdy-looking officials, two men with silver maces, and two Persian cossacks. After wandering through really delightful gardens, dotted with pools of water, patches of undergrowth, and bed...s of cabbages, and passing by walls sculptured in the reign of Kerim- Khan with ferocious Persian grandees depicted in colours, we penetrated through little undersized door- ways and passages (one of which had an iron door like that of a safe, in case of emergency) to a flight of steps, where we were left by our escort, and, lonely, faced the lion in his den. A Persian room is much like an English one, save in some minor details. There is nearly always an array of pictures on the walls, and if the Persian taste runs to cheap knick-knacks instead of works of art and objects which appeal to our taste, it must be remembered that the Persian has travelled slowly on the path over which we have long been hurrying.
