Thank you Alan for your understanding, and Marco and IP for your frankness. 
Honestly it was not a problem of understanding the text which made it difficult to read in my case but the contents of the text itself which I found quite outside my scope of interest.  
I read another book about Bali in the 19th century written by Ide Anak Gde Agung which is much more accessible... 
Regards
