What reading level is At the Gates of the East a book of Travel Among Historic Wonderlands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Wiener Wald makes no appeal to any travelled stranger. The hills are unimpressive in height and outline, and on the fall of the leaf add but a broken contour of gloom to the south-western horizon.
As for the Danube at Vienna, can any visitor honestly enter into all the local ecstasy over " the beautiful blue Danube " ? As a body of flowing water it is a noble stream, but keep your eyes from the embankments if you wish its charm to continue. For the reaches that bound Vienna are an unideal s...pot for a picnic party.
The banks are commonplace, abandoned on the city side to a line of sleepy wharves, where the business done, except in summer, need not inspire international envy.
A glance across the inundation district at the other side discloses a mournful spectacle, only paralleled by those nightmares of desolation that border Dutch canals.
Those who have seen the beauties of the Danube be- tween Passau and Linz, and in a lesser degree as it sweeps past the heights of Pressburg or pierces the plain that separates Buda from Pest, know how potently it can appeal to every lover of scenery ; but at Vienna the raptures about it, fostered by the Strauss waltzes, are a curious instance of the obliquity of civic enthusiasm.
