What reading level is Journeys Through France Being Impressions of the Provinces book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That sea is calm as Paradise ; only on . that wide sparkling sheet, whereon the sun shed his flaming glory, there lay a tiny fretwork, made up of myriads of almost imperceptible scales of gold, as it were a beautiful, happy, divine leviathan, cradled in azure.
Two or three streaks of paler blue marked the sudden steeps of the ocean bed ; the veined sea and sky were like the lustrous marbled valves of a pearly shell.
Nearer at hand lies the harbour. Some thirty little vessels creep slowly inward... to the harbour- mouth ; the three jetties extend their narrow, black stages in sharp relief; the lighthouse stands out clear against the sky ; a dark old fort rises from a ridge on the right. These well-defined outlines, this wonderful contrast of clear and luminous hues with rough-hewn shapes, furnish a totally unexpected pleasure. The sheltered harbour itself glistens like 90 JOURNEYS THROUGH FRANCE a diamond cup. In such a land as this, it is easy to understand the origin of painting.
All down the hillside the ruddy paths diverge and wind about.
