What reading level is The City of the Caliphs a Popular Study of Cairo And Its Environs And the Nile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the west and south the placid waters of the Mareotis Lake, in reality a shallow and insalubrious lagoon, but to all appearance a smiling lake, which, with its waters fringed by the low-lying sand-dunes, reminds the spectator of the peculiar beauties of the Norfolk Broads.
ALEXANDRIA AND THE NILE DELTA. 99 Beyond Lake Mareotis lies the luxuriant plain of the Delta. The view of this plain may not be what is called picturesque, but to the artist the scenery has its special charm. It is no doubt... flat and monotonous, but there is no monotony of colour in this richly cultivated plain, once the granary of the Roman Empire. Simplicity is, in short, the predominant " note " in the scenery of Lower Egypt, but, as Mr. H. D. Traill has well observed, here the artist finds "the broadest effects produced by the slenderest means. " In the description of this North African Holland innumer- able pens have been worn out in comparison and simile. To some this huge market-garden, with its network of canals and ditches, simply invites a homely comparison with a chess-board.
