What reading level is Foreign Literature in Translation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The lavish and vivid figures of speech are Homeric ; there is nothing common- place or hackneyed about this book. But pick up a volume of Gogol's short stories, "St. John's Eve, " for example, and a sur- prise awaits us; for in "Old-fashioned Farmers" two childish, puttering, old people are drawn, with a wealth of detail and a love that attains pathos. "The Cloak" is a study, careful and true, of the poverty-stricken life of a poor old copying-clerk, bitter, dreary, tragic. Gogol's understandin...g of the untamed Cossack did not dull his loving perception of the simple, gentle, kindly old house-wife and the mediocre clerk.
When we turn to the books of the Latin races, there appears a great difficulty and a new problem. Their life is not ours, their thoughts are not often ours, their language is very far from ours. It is only in basic human qualities that Teutonic and Latin peoples can sympathize. So, in these writings, it requires time, and study, and re-reading to understand even faintly.
