What reading level is French Men Women And Books a Series of Nineteenth Century Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reinack, "spoke a former Du Paty under Louis XVI, just three years before the Revolution. But the Jesuit having again obtained authority in France " (as Gambetta truly said, " when THE HISTORIAN OF A TRAGEDY 195 the country sinks, the Jesuit rises "), " a hundred and five years after the Declaration of the Rights of Man, another Du Paty assists in the destruction of liberty. " Once arrested and, according to military terms, placed " in pace, " Dreyfus was as completely buried alive as is the Ru...ssian political prisoner of to-day. For seven entire weeks he was left to himself and his agonizing thoughts, no communication being per- mitted him with his family or his friends. By a refinement of cruelty, books, pens, ink and paper were forbidden. It was the hope of his persecutors that such treatment would madden him into some kind of avowal. Here M. Reinach's pen is truly eloquent " And not a book ! Yes, that balm and consola- tion even of the murderer awaiting his doom was denied him. The narrative of travels, the story that for a passing hour makes the prisoner oblivious of his wretchedness or of his crime, that lifts him from his dungeon walls, transporting to blue skies of far-off lands or to the world of romance ; this sacred thing was denied to another object no less sacred, namely, misfortune personified.
