What reading level is Obermann book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To seek after glory and to fail is the height of humiliation ; to deserve and to lose it is perhaps mournful ; to attain it is not the first end of man.
Tell me whether the greatest names are those of just men. When it is possible for us to perform good actions, let us do so for their own sake, and if we are cut off by our state of life from the opportunity of the greater achieve- ments, do not let us forego those small things which find no recompense in glory. Let us leave the incertitudes and... rest satisfied with goodness in obscurity. Plenty of men who seek renown for its own sake will provide that motive power which may be needed in great states ; for our- selves let us aim only at the conduct which should insure glory, and be indifferent to the fantasies of destiny which at times accord it to happiness, refuse it at times to heroism, and dispense it so rarely to purity of intention.
For som^Mays past I have experienced a profound regret for simple things. I grow weary already at Paris, not that it is absolutely distasteful, but I could never be satisfied in places which I am merely passing through.
