What reading level is Legends And Tales of Old Munich book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And it is only proper that he speak here in my place, as an illustration of how much more advanced they were at that time, in the art of bestowing praise, than we, who in our pride of style, do not know where to find words enough. In speaking of the riches of the Chamber of Trea- sures, for instance, who is there today, who could outstrip his description of the pearls alone, in aptness and terseness: "I could tell of 500 treasures of monstrous rarity, whereby your eyes would swim with the wonde...r of it, but some secret cause has stopped the flow of my pen. So it must suffice me to say that all five human senses of the mortal, who has the good fortune to behold those treasures, are fully occupied/' And the same may be said of the passage where the good knight of St. Lazarus speaks of the tilting- yard, or old riding-school, which stood where the shops are now. "That is a glorious building where all the chi- valry of Bavaria gives many a proof of valiant courage. And in that place, our victory-crowned Emanuel has often practised his hand with the pointed lance and gleaming sword, that hand which later, in his heroic bravery, he often colored in the unclean blood of 90 Turkish dogs and moon-struck beasts at Vienna, Gran, Neuhausel, Waizen and other places, and thereby crowned his Bavarian lions with many splendid laurel- wreaths/' That finished eulogist is still more eloquent about the Elector in another part.
