To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As I writhed under it, I would at times feel that learning toread had been a curse rather than a blessing. It had given me a viewof my wretched condition, without the remedy. It opened my eyes to thehorrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out. In moments ofagony, I envied my fellow-slaves for their stupidity. I have oftenwished myself a beast. I preferred the condition of the meanest reptileto my own. Any thing, no matter what, to get rid of thinking! It wasthis everlasting thinking of... my condition that tormented me. There wasno getting rid of it. It was pressed upon me by every object withinsight or hearing, animate or inanimate. The silver trump of freedomhad roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, todisappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen inevery thing. It was ever present to torment me with a sense of mywretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothingwithout hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. It looked fromevery star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and movedin every storm.
