What reading level is Geneva book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The name of which the Genevans are proudest is THE STATUE OF JEAN -JACQUES ROUSSEAU ON THE ISLAND IN THE RHONE, GENEVA, FROM HOTEL DES BERGUES I- ' 4 ', ui^| ^'«' tw''" ' Py« a *'*'y'***** ^^**i! T^^ o c « MEN OF LETTERS 91 probably that of Rousseau, who has sometimes been spoken of as ' the austere citizen of Geneva. ' But ' austere ' is a strange epithet to apply to the philosopher who endowed the Foundling Hospital with five illegitimate children ; and Geneva cannot claim a great share in a ...citizen who ran away from the town in his boyhood to avoid being thrashed for stealing apples. It was, indeed, at Geneva that Jean Jacques received from his aunt the disciplinary chastisement of which he gives such an exciting account in his ' Confessions '; and he once returned to the city and received the Holy Communion there in later life. But that is all. Jean Jacques was not educated at Geneva, but in Savoy — at Annecy, at Turin, and at Chambery ; his books were not printed at Geneva, though one of them was publicly burnt there, but in Paris and Amster- dam ; it is not to Genevan but to French literature that he belongs.
