What reading level is Recollections of the Private Life of Napoleon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A short time before the battle of La Moskwa, a man was brought to the camp dressed in the Russian uniform, but speaking French ; at least his language was a singular mixture of French and Russian. This man had escaped secretly from the enemy's lines ; and when he perceived that our soldiers were only a short distance from him, had thrown his gun on the ground, crying in a very strong Russian accent, "I am French," and our soldiers had at once taken him prisoner.
Never was prisoner more charmed ...with his change of abode. This poor fellow, who seemed to have been forced to take arms against his will in the service of the enemies of his country, arrived at the French camp, called himself the happiest of men in finding again his fellow-country- men, and pressed the hand of all the soldiers with an ardor which delighted them. He was brought to the Emperor, and appeared much over-awed at finding himself in the presence of the King of the French, as he called his Maj- esty. The Emperor questioned him closely, and in his reply he declared that the noise of the French cannon had always made his heart beat; and that he had feared only one thing, which was that he might be killed by his com- patriots.
