What reading level is A Wanderer in Paris book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the best view of Delaroche's great work one must go upstairs to the Gallery. The library also is upstairs, with many thousand of valuable SINCEREST FLATTERY 165 works on art and a collection of drawings by the masters, access to which is made easy to genuine students.
By returning to the first court we come to the Musee de la Renaissance, which now occupies an old chapel of the Couvent des Petits-Augustins, on the site of which the Palais de Beaux-Arts was built. Here are more casts and cop...ies, and there are still more in the adjoin- ing Cour du Murier, where stands the memorial of Henri Regnault, the painter, and the students who died with him during the defence of Paris in 1870-71.
We then enter the Salle de Melpomene, so called from the dominating cast of the Melpomene at the Louvre, and are straightway among what seem at the first glance to be old friends from all the best galleries of the world but too quickly are revealed as counterfeits. Rembrandt's School of Anatomy and the Syndics, our own National Gallery Correggio, the Dresden Raphael, the Wallace Collection Velasquez (the Lady with a Fan), one of Hals' groups of arquebusiers, and Paul Potter's Bull : all are here, together with countless others, all the work of Beaux-Arts students, and some exceedingly good, but also (like most copies) exceedingly depressing.
