What reading level is Man And His Buildings book?

The qualities that would strike a visitor most, one fancies, in such a town would be first the clear-cut boundaries the town ends at the wall ; there are no straggling suburbs or untidy no-man's land.
And secondly, the harmony of the whole in spite of the varying age, style, size and preten- sions of the buildings.
Lastly, the captivating contrasts of light and shade (therein typical of the Middle Ages themselves) in the narrow streets seen especi- ally vividly in the very steep, cramped street...s of St. Malo dark with sudden splashes of sun- light, airless with sudden draughts of air, and, every now and then, the surprise of a sudden turn of the street bringing you to its end abruptly, and the dazzling expanse of twinkling waves and rocky islands and the brilliant sky spread out before you.
There is not space to discuss here towns generally to contrast the brick towns of Ger- many, with their spiky turrets and pantiled, steep gabled houses and huge gaunt churches with copper spires, with the stone towns of the Loire, with their creamy walls and grey slate roofs, set among rushing rivers ; or to compare the red-brown somnolence of the broad, tree- 92 MAN AND HIS BUILDINGS lined streets of the Hague with gold-brown, motionless, watchful Florence in repose but listening, alert, watchful.
