What reading level is Cities And Sea-Coasts And Islands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In its detail, in the gradual accumulation of structure and ornament, the statues of the retablo, the windows, doorways, columns, it is in itself an almost complete historical museum of Spanish art in stone. But it is, after all, in the cloisters that one cares chiefly to linger. To walk there, looking between the slim white columns, with their history of the Bible or of the world carved minutely and with mediaeval humour on the capitals ; looking past them into that inner court where a garden ...of trees and shrubs blossoms with many greens — the green of palm, of cypress, of oleander — in that coolness under the sunshine visible upon the foliage, is to surrender oneself to an enchanted peace. Here Tarragona at least still sleeps perfectly, in that permanent dream of the Middle Ages. Ruins and the sea, I have said, make up most of Tarragona ; and the sea here has some particular charm of its own, new to me, after all I have seen of the sea. A wide rambla, planted with trees, where, in the afternoon, every one walks, leads to ii6 Tarragona.
