What reading level is Tomorrow; Letters to a Friend in Germany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has always been so and will re- main so. But the great swing and the over- whelming trend have often changed in the his- tory of mankind ; and they are changing now from the craving for pleasure to the readi- 132 THE NEW IDEALISM ness for duty. The life of devotion is not less abundant, and surely it ought never to be devoid of beauty. The puritanic error was always to believe that the joy in beauty is a selfish pleasure. The new idealism will not be tainted by such an esthetic sin. True bea...uty is as much an ideal value as truth and morality and religion. He has not under- stood the meaning of art who compares it with the mere selfish pleasure of gratifying the personal desires. Esthetic joy is over- personal and the future, filled with idealistic belief, will uproot the shallow luxury of our time, but will surely never fail to intertwine the gifts of beauty with the achievements of the will toward duty.
Nor does this turn toward the life of sacri- fice over-emphasize the bodily aspect which the war to a certain degree suggests.
