What reading level is History of Civilization in the Fifth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
31 less, lest the occupation of their hands should trouble their contemplation, but the recluses of Christendom laboured either manually or mentally. The solitudes of the " Thebaid " had their smiths, carpenters, curriers, and even shipbuilders, whilst mental toil was dominant in the monasteries of the West. St. Augustine estab- lished it in the convents of Africa ; it flourished at Liguge, Lerins, and elsewhere ; and literature found in the cloister its secret asylum. To labour perseveringly, ...not for self, nor even for wife or children, but for a com- munity, was no light demand upon human nature, and the founders of the spiritual life had only called for this sacrifice and abnegation of leisure in the name of charity. They had never imagined that men could be united in a perpetual restraint, in a companionship which had mortification and forgetfulness of self as its essence, in the name of a pride which ambitioned ascendancy, or of a sensualism which craved for a gratification. To achieve this wonderful result a degree of self-denial was necessary : it was the work of the humility and charity which Christians laboured to attain through prayer.
