What reading level is The East I Know book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Hap- piness is our duty and our inheritance, a certain perfect possession is intended.
But like the sow which furnished the oracles to i^neas, the meeting with one always seems to me an augury, a social symbol. Her flank is more vague than hifls seen through the rain, and when she litters, giving drink to a battahon of young boars who march between her legs, she seems to me the very image of those moun- tains which suckle the clusters of villages attached to their torrents, no less massive an...d no less misshapen.
I must not omit to say that the blood of the pig serves to fix gold.
[69] THE SOURCE LET other rivers carry toward the sea oak branches and the red infusion of rusty earth, roses and the bark of sycamores, strewn straw or slabs of ice; let the Seine in the damp mornings of December, when half-past eight sounds from the steeples of the city, unmoor under the rigid derricks barges of manure and lighters full of casks; let the River Haha, at the smoking crest of its rapids, erect all at once, like the rude semblance of a pike, the trunk of a hundred- foot pine tree; and let the Equatorial rivers carry in their turbid flow a confused world of trees and plants; yet, flat on my face, held fast against the current, the width of this one river is not equal to my arms, nor its depth sufficient to engulf me.
