What reading level is France in the Nineteenth Century, 1830-1890 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the upper classes who ate horse-flesh and queer ani- mals out of the Jardin des Plantes; the working-classes would not touch such things till driven to eat them by absolute famine.
Butter rose to five dollars a pound, cabbages were sold by the leaf. Early in the siege, eggs were three dollars a dozen, and milk soon became unattainable. " Poor little babies died like flies," says an eye-witness. Fuel, too, was growing very scarce and very dear. The women supported their privations bravely..., but it is terrible to think what must have been the sufferings of mothers deprived of whole- some food for their little children. The firmness and self- sacrifice of the bourgeoisie were above all praise.
All kinds of meats were eaten. Mule was said to be delicious, — far superior to beef. Antelope cost eighteen francs a pound, but was not as good as stewed rabbit; elephant's trunk was eight dollars a pound, it being es- teemed a delicacy. Bear, kangaroo, ostrich, yak, etc., varied the bill of fare for those who could afford to eat them.
