What reading level is First And Last book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From that evening I was determined to visit this place of which so far Ihad but read, and to see how far it might agree with the vision I hadhad of it, and to people actual fields with the ghosts of dead soldiers. And for the better appreciation of the drama I chose the season and thedays on which the fight had been driven across that rolling land, and Icame there, as the Republicans had come, a little before the dawn.
The hillside was silent and deserted, more even than are commonly suchplaces..., though silence and desertion seem the common atmosphere of allthe fields on which such fates have been decided. A man looking overCarthage Bay, especially a man looking at those sodden pools that werethe sound harbours of Carthage, might be in an uninhabited world; andthe loop of the Trebbia is the same, and the edge of Fontenoy; and evenhere in England that hillside looking south up which the Normans chargedat Battle is a quiet and a drowsy sort of place.... So it was here inFlanders.
For two miles as I ascended by the little sunken lane which the extremeright wing had followed in the last attack I saw neither man nor beast, but only the same stubble of the same autumn fields, and the same coldersun shining upon the empty uplands until I reached the crest where theHungarian and the Croat had met the charge, and had disputed the littlevillage for two hours--a dispute upon which hung your fate and mine andthat of Europe.
