What reading level is Tambora: the Eruption That Changed the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The god Apollo, angered by the Greeks’ poor treatment of one of his priests, descends on the beach of Troy “angered in his heart”: He came as night comes down and knelt then apart and opposite the ships and let go an arrow.
Terrible was the clash that rose from the bow of silver … The corpse fires burned everywhere and did not stop burning.1 Given the classical education of the British empire’s medical men, it is not surprising that the epic-sized nineteenth-century literature on cholera opens s...imilarly, with the story of Indian governor Lord Hastings’s “Grand Army,” in late 1817, brought to its knees by a deadly epidemic that seemed to come from the malignant skies. Again and again, British writers on cholera over the coming decades would return to the near-rout of British forces in that Tambora year to comment upon and analyze the cholera, as if it were a famous scene in an Homeric poem or Shakespearean tragedy.
Figure 4.1. The Maratha War in 1817 was waged in the independent regions of north-central India, south of Delhi.
