What reading level is Eminent Europeans; Studies in Continental Reality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

He hunted lions in Africa, fought gangsters on the lower East Side of New York, was an attache in the Russo-Japanese war, acted, in the disguise of first a mechanic, then a waiter, as a spy of the Austrian General Staff in Serbia.
At the beginning of the war, he rode, at the head of a reconnoitring party of half a dozen dragoons, through the lines of a whole Serbian army. As Food Minister he displayed great industry and re- sourcefulness, and when all was over he cahnly walked across the Swiss
...frontier with twelve mil- lion kronen of Hungarian state funds in his pocket. As this sum was originally intended for the purchase of potatoes, he is now familiarly known in the Danubian region as the Potato Prince.
His book is extremely interesting, though ram- bling and unven. It has two main themes, or leit- motivs. Showing what a political and military genius he was himself is one ; showing what a black- hearted scoundrel his cousin Michael Karolyi was is the other. Its interminable loosely-written pages of self-praise and irrelevant detail are illuminated, 172 EMINENT EUROPEANS here and there, by the lightning of a first-rate epi- gram, or the unforgettable flashlight picture of a character or a scene.
