What reading level is The Works of Theophile Gautier 13 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But with the first beam of the sun, all these things are forgotten.
A steamer, dragging behind it its long plume of smoke blown down on the water, passed on our right. It was coming from Cronstadt and was bound westward.
92 THE SEA PASSAGE The gulf narrowed more and more. The low-lying shores were now bare, now covered with summer verdure ; watch towers rose from the waves ; vessels and ships came and went along the channel marked by buoys ; the shallower sea had changed colour as we neared the... land. Gulls, the first we had seen, were swooping round gracefully. Through my glasses I saw ahead of us two rose spots dotted with black, a spangle of gold and a spangle of green, a few tenuous threads like cobwebs, wisps of white smoke ascend- ing into the motionless, perfectly pure air. It was Cronstadt.
In Paris during the war, I had seen a good many more or less imaginary plans of Cronstadt, with the cross-fire of the guns figured by multiple lines, like the rays of a star, and I had taxed my imagination to represent the city as it really was, without, however, succeeding in doing so.
