What reading level is Prospero's Cell: a Guide to the Landscape And Manners of the Island of Corfu book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One thinks of Nelson on his column turning a blinded eye across the miles of English mist to where by the deserted gun batteries of Aboukir the sea runs thin and green. In these summer twilights the city lies in its jumble of pastel tones, faintly veined like an exhausted petal. Flocks of pigeons wheel in the last sunlight, turning and falling, like a shower of confetti when the light strikes against their wings. The last landmark on the edge of Africa. The battleships in their arrowed blackness... turn slowly in the harbor. The loss of Greece has been an amputation. All Epictetus could not console one against it.
Here we miss Greece as a living body, a landscape lying up close against the sky, suspended on the blue lion-pads of mountains. And above all, we miss the Eye: for the summers of indolence and deduction on the northern beaches of our island—beaches incessantly washed and sponged by the green Ionian—taught us that Greece was not a country but a living eye. “The Enormous Eye”
