What reading level is The Vanished Pomps of Yesterday : Being Some Random Reminiscences of a British Diplomat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Brazilians declare that the fever is never contracted during the daytime, but that sunset is the dangerous hour.
They also warn the foreigner to avoid fruit and acid drinks.
Conditions have changed since then. The cause of the unhealthiness of Rio was a very simple one.
All the sewage of the city was discharged into the landlocked, tideless bay, where it lay festering under the scorching sun. An Enghsh company tunnelled a way through the mountains direct to OF A BRITISH DIPLOMAT 243 the Atl...antic, and all the sewage is now discharged there, with the result that Rio is practically free from the dreaded disease.
The customs of a monarchial country are like a deep-rooted oak, they do not stand transplanting.
Where they are the result of the slow growth of many centuries, they have adapted themselves, so to speak, to the soil of the country of their origin, have evolved national characteristics, and have fitted themselves into the national hfe. When transplanted into a new country, they cannot fail to appear anachronisms, and have always a certain element of the grotesque about them.
