What reading level is The Forgotten Isles: Impressions of Travel in the Balearic Isles, Corsica And Sardinia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ever since the Genoese occupation Italy has been the hereditary enemy of the Corsicans.
The epithet Lucchese (man of Lucca), applied to all Italians, whether from Rome, Florence, Lucca, or any other part of the peninsula, is an affront so serious that a true Corsican can never pardon it.
If a Corsican employs on his estate six labourers, of whom two are Italians, he will say, " I employ four men and two Lucchese." He will never say, '' I employ six men, or six persons," A girl who has had a mis...fortune, is comforted with the proverb : " Alia Jill di tanti giiai ■ .
Un Lucchese 91 manca ipiai." This saying, which applies also to ugly girls who cannot get a Corsican husband, may be rendered by, " Whatever you ma}' lack, you'll never be at a loss for a Lucca-man ! " In certain mountainous regions, like the Niolo, which were cut off from all communication with the outer world, the inhabitants are of a particular type, which is said to present every analogy to that of the ancient Goths.
When I saw at Calasima men over seven feet in height, obliged to stoop in order to enter their houses, I was simply stupefied.
