What reading level is The Soul of Paris And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Diaz of Barbison owned some forests much like this one of Taunus, and he made the world a little richer by trying to depict some of their beauties upon canvas. Of course he failed, as all painters have al ways failed: but his failure should have contained no sting, for he knew, and the forests knew, that all he could hope to do was to depict a little of the real beauty he saw, to haltingly imitate in a small degree the magnificence and splendor of his models. The Taunus suggests Diaz throughout.... The sunlight falls through the trees and to the grassy carpets in visible, and it seems almost material, rays. The mystery that Diaz loved is there, and as one strives to gaze deep into the recesses his vision is stopped by the semi- aureate gloom, by the half-darkness that contains nothing to fear, that is found in the pictures of Diaz. The forest is consistent, and none of the fairy-like shadows, the supermundane lights and shades and the evanescent mists of Corot are there; but there are some suggestions of Ruysdaal and Hobbema, who, after all, were the elder brethren of Diaz.
