What reading level is A Winter in Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is incredible bow much the street had gained by it; this broad strip of silver, unrolled as far as eye could reach, between the two lines of magnificent build- ings, was a wonderful picture. The colors of the houses, — rose, yellow, fawn-color, warm gray, — which might seem in bad taste on ordinary occasions, became most harmonious in tone, relieved in this way by spark- ling fillets and specks of brilliant white. The Cathedral of bur Lady of Kazan had undergone a most pleasing change ; it h...ad coified its Italian cupola witli a cap oi Kussian snow, outlined all its cornices and its Corin- thian capitals with pure white, and placed upon the terrace of its semi-circular colonnade, a balustrade of mas- sive silver like that which adorns its iconostase, and the steps which led to its portico had a carpet of ermine, fine, fleecy, s|)lendid enough for a czarina to tread with her golden slippers.
The statues of Barclay de Tolly and Kutusov seemed to rejoice upon their ])edestals that the sculptor Orlovski, taking into consideration the climate, had not attired them as Romans, but had, on the contrary, ac- corded to them substantial bronze cloaks.
