What reading level is Ideals of the East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who and what was the founder of the Parsi faith ?
This is a question which has fascinated many scholars, and which can hardly yet be said to have been fully answered. Whilst some maintain that Zoroaster was a mere reformer who turned the gods of his fathers into demons and sought the abolition of the Vddic creed by the establishment of a new religion, others hold that he was a mythical person, a storm-god who, like Gaj6 Maratan, Jima and the bird Kars'^iptan, re- presents the godlike champion i...n the struggle for light against darkness. Prof. Kern considers the prophet to be a humanised Hesperus, and S6s'^j6s, the lawgiver that is to be, a personified Phosphorus. In these discussions etymology plays an important part.
Zoroaster is the Greek form of the ancient Bactrian or North Eranian Sara-fus'tra, which is the Pirsl equi- valent of Proto- Aryan G^ara-tvaktar ( >J^gar, to glitter ; Jtvak, to frame), meaning " gold-framer," the brilliant one, and in the superlative Saraf^ustrotema, the most illustrious one.
