What reading level is Emile Zola book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


In his form, Zola is classic, that is regular, symmetrical, seeking thebeauty of the temple rather than the beauty of the tree. If the fightin his day had been the earlier fight between classicism andromanticism, instead of romanticism and realism, his nature andtradition would have ranged him on the side of classicism, though, asin the later event, his feeling might have been romantic. I think ithas been the error of criticism not to take due account of his Italianorigin, or to recognize that
...he was only half French, and that thishalf was his superficial half. At the bottom of his soul, though notperhaps at the bottom of his heart, he was Italian, and of the greatrace which in every science and every art seems to win the primacy whenit will. The French, through the rhetoric of Napoleon III. , imposedthemselves on the imagination of the world as the representatives ofthe Latin race, but they are the least and the last of the Latins, andthe Italians are the first. To his Italian origin Zola owed not onlythe moralistic scope of his literary ambition, but the depth andstrength of his personal conscience, capable of the austere puritanismwhich underlies the so-called immoralities of his books, and incapableof the peculiar lubricity which we call French, possibly to distinguishit from the lubricity of other people rather than to declare it a thingsolely French.
