What reading level is Portraits of the Nineties book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A generation before there was glamour, but little good business, in the conquest of the wild ; on the whole the betting was decidedly on the wild. A generation later the glamour had largely departed, though the business was very good business indeed. But in the high and palmy days of Stanley the explorer had the best of both worlds. He was admired as a disinterested knight errant, and rewarded handsomely for not being one.
To-day the public is a little cynical on the whole subject. It is not so... much that the world has grown smaller ; the world is still a very large place. It is not so much that danger has been eliminated ; it has in some ways been notably increased. But the very completeness of a modern exploration boom defeats part of its purpose. So far as it sets out to make the restless hero an efficient money-maker for himself and others it generally succeeds mightily. So far as it sets out to make the restless hero a demigod it invariably fails ; it makes him, instead, something very like a bore.
