What reading level is The Unveiled East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was Bettina ! Most of those who worshipped her now lie in the mouldering earth around, but some are still left who mutter of her glories when in their cups at night-time on Siberian steppes or in Caucasian fort. Bettina was the queen of all. Her life was a wonder ; and as she minced on her diamond-strewn way, now mistress of a governor, now auctioning herself night by night to the highest bidder, the little world around looked and wondered.
Then came the guns — no play salute this ! Where... are they all now .'' The gay young officer is dust, the contractor is already in the hell that comes to all who sell their souls for gold, and Bettina slinks down a side street in Shanghai, her diamonds vanished, herself a ruin.
Tairen, the Dalny of old, is busy, and here an air of retrogression is seen all around. One seems to have gone back to an earlier stage of civilisation. The men who occupy the fine Russian houses do not know how to use them ; the comforts and amenities of civilisation, as we understand them, are being destroyed, simply because the Japanese traders and soldiers cannot com- prehend them.
