What reading level is Mexico, And the Life of the Conqueror Fernando Cortes 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Others contended, that, if they were supernatural beings, fraud and force would be alike useless. If they were, as they pretended, ambassadors from a foreign prince, such a policy would be cowardly and unjust. That they were not of the family of Quetzalcoatl was argued from the fact, that they had shown themselves hostile to his religion ; for tidings of the proceedings of the Spaniards in Tabasco, it seems, had al- ready reached the capital Among those in favor of giving them a friendly and ho...norable reception was the Tezcucan king, Cacama.
But Montezuma, taking counsel of his own ill-defined appre- hensions, preferred a half-way course, — as usual, the most im- politic. He resolved to send an embassy, with such a magnifi- cent present to the strangers, as should impress them with high ideas of his grandeur and resources ; while, at the same time, he would forbid their approach to the capital. This was to reveal, at once, both his wealth and his weakness. 14 While the Aztec court was thus agitated by the arrival of the Spaniards, they were passing their time in the tierra caliente> not a little annoyed by the excessive heats and suffocating atmos- phere of the sandy waste on which they were encamped.
