What reading level is Herman Melville : Mariner And Mystic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am told, my fellow- man, that there is an aristocracy of the brain. Some men have boldly advocated and asserted it. Schiller seems to have done so, though I don t know much about him. At any rate, it is true that there have been those who, while earnest in behalf of political equality, still accept the intellectual estates. And I can well perceive, I think, how a man of superior mind can, by its intense cultivation, bring himself, as it were, into a certain spontaneous aristocracy of feeling,... exceedingly nice and fastidious, similar to that which, in an English Howard, conveys a torpedo-fish thrill at the slightest contact with a social plebeian. So, when you see or hear of my ruthless de mocracy on all sides, you may possibly feel a touch of a shrink, or something of that sort. It is but nature to be shy of a . , mortal who boldly declares thaTa thief in jail is as honourable A a personage as Gen. George Washington. This is ludicrous. But Truth is the silliest thing under the sun. Try to get a liv ing by Truth and go to the Soup Societies.
