What reading level is Paradoxes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

What a pity that I am unable to provide myself with the photographs of these wise Thebans ! I would have been so pleased to have pven the readers of this book the opp)ortunity of at least becoming acquainted with the paper representation of the features of these monstrous contemporaries.
Digitized by VjOOQIC THE PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGY OF GENIUS AND TALENT I MUST Start by giving as fine a definition as possible of the main notions about which the considerations that are under- taken in this chapter r
...evolve. What is a talented individual ?
What is a man of genius ? The answer to these questions is usually couched in stupid indefinite terms, among which nouns that express admiration and adjectives that express praise predominate. With this I cannot allow myself to rest content.
My wish is to have, not complimentary rhetorical flourishes but a well-considered explanation. Now I imagine I am not very far from the truth if I say — " A talented individual is a being who performs actions that are generally or frequently practised i in a better way than the majoritj' of those who have tried to ' devote themselves to the same routine; a man of genius is one | who of his own accord invents new modes of action that have never before been attempted, or practises old accomplishments in an entirely original, purely personal manner." It is inten- tionally that I define the talented individual as a being, and him of genius, on the other hand, as a man.
