What reading level is Rebels And Reformers; Biographies for Young People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Voltaire, as already said, detested intolerance. He expressed this in a well-known phrase, which he re- peated both in his writings and in his conversation, " Ecra&ez I'infame" (Crush the infamous). His ene- mies declared that he meant God, Christ, Christianity, Digitized by Google 166 REBELS AND REFORMERS and religion. But this was very far from true. By Vinfame he meant intolerance, bigotry, superstition, persecution, and all the hideous evils that blighted the true spirit of religion. It was... Vinfame that en- forced the doctrines of religion by fire, torture, and imprisonment, it was Vinfame that encouraged op- pression and tyranny; it was Vinfame that was the barrier to liberty, progress, and enlightenment; and Vinfame was Voltaire's lifelong enemy. He did as much as any one to combat this evil spirit. But it requires more than a man, it requires a people, to succeed completely; and no people have even yet got the power in any land. Voltaire was certainly not a sentimentalist, and it is interesting to note that he was the first influential writer who was struck more by the futility than the cruelty of war.
