What reading level is The Near East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two days ago I was so ignorant that I did not know a Pedi- ment from a Metope, and was not sure whether a frieze was something to eat or was worn under the base of a statue. I have learned more about THE ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS 165 sculpture in twenty -four hours than I can re- member in six months. I can tell a bas-relief from a tenor and a triglyph from a corner- stone. But I am sure no one would believe that I had absorbed so much of the details of art, and therefore I refrain. All that I will s...ay is that the Acropolis is a great hill and could not be moved to the British museum. Therefore it has been saved to its native land.
The Old Greeks and the New Athens, Sept. 8. The difficulty the tourist has in Greece is to make the modern match with the ancient and the actual with the ideal. Aside from the sculpture and architecture, there is nothing now which quite comes up to the description of the then. I suppose much of this comes from the obliteration of the Greece we read about by the Romans, the Slavs and the Turks for 2, 000 years.
