What reading level is Albania the Foundling State of Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The five hundred years' struggle of Montenegro against the Turks has often been told in enthusiastic language. The more than a thousand years' struggle of the Shkypetars against the Slav and the Turk has always been passed over as an incident of no importance.
The very name " Albanian " lends itself to prejudice. To the Western European it recalls the travellers' tales of Albanian brigands, and the stories about the Sultan Abdul Hamid's guards. The name sounds, and is, modern, whereas Serb, as ...admirers of the modern Servians very wisely write the word, has an ancient flavour. The tribes that are now known as Albanian do not recognise themselves by that name. They are Shkypetars, the Sons of the Mountain Eagle, and their country is Shkyperi or Shkypeni, the Land of the Mountain Eagle. They have a legend that Pyrrhus, when told by his troops that his THE STORY OF ALBANIA 183 movements in war were as rapid as the swoop of an eagle, replied that it was true because his soldiers were Sons of the Eagle and their lances were the pinions upon which he flew.
