What reading level is Michel De Montaigne book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Let him attend not to 190 Digitized byGoogk MONTAIGNE AMONG HIS BOOKS my body of matter but to the fashion in which I mould it." As a reader, he often cared only to rest his busy brain; he often cared only to give his languid brain a fillip; but sometimes he read pen in hand, underlining what seemed to him remarkable; commenting and questioning upon the margin; alive in all his mind. Finally he would sum up, briefly, and as one who speaks with authority, all his impressions in one decisive es...timate of his author. He has given us ex- amples of such verdicts on three of the historians whom he had read with special attention — Guic- ciardini, Philippe de Comines, and, descending from the past to his own early days, Martin du Bellay who in his Memoirs had the assistance of his brother, Guillaume de Langey. The cynicism of Guicciardini, who never attributes an action to any but a base or a self-interested motive, is re- garded by Montaigne as a somewhat shallow error of judgment. The moral qualities of Co- mines are applauded with genuine warmth, but Montaigne finds in his work a certain insuffi- ciency of intellect.
