«The Sleeping Mountain» is the novel by John Harris, published by Longman in 1969 in paperback (110 pages, in English).
The story takes place on the Italian island of Anapoli, where British painter Tom Patch falls in love with Cecilia. The peaceful life of the port, with its bells and mandolins, contrasts with the silent threat of a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
It is part of the «New Method Supplementary Reader» series, Stage 3 level, as a graded reader in English; the text was simplified by Sheila Enderle and Michael West.
Intended for students of English as a foreign language who want to practice reading with a short story and controlled vocabulary.
