What reading level is Constantinople 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PERA The human overflow from Galata northward has given rise to Pera. In its present opulence and extent Pera is a creation of the nineteenth century. It was never -enclosed by walls, and is destitute of natural boundaries.
Although from the first a centre of diplomacy, it has hardly any history of its own. Stavrodromion, the Cross Streets, is its name among the Greeks. The Ottomans call it Beyoglou, the Residence of the Prince, inasmuch as the exiled Alexios V, Emperor of Trebizond, resided he...re after his deposition by his ill-starred uncle David.
Yet its earlier and more significant appellation of Pera, Bevond, seems destined to outlast all its other names.
Its character is that of cosmopolitan Europe, with almost •absolute exclusion of the East. The Mussulman state dignitaries, who sit at its formal banquets and with solemn courtesy attend its formal receptions, seem like exotics on a soil that is their own. Thousands and tens of thousands among the residents of Stamboul have never even trodden the streets of Pera.
