What reading level is Reminiscences of Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Avvakumian element harried and tormented with its preachings, the ar- tist in him; the Novgorod wildness upset the Shakespeare and Dante in him, while the Tchaadayerian element scoffed at his soul's amusements and, by the way, at its agonies.
And the old Russian man in him dealt a blow at science and the State, the Russian driven to the passivity of anarchism by the barren- ness of all his efforts to build up a more hu- man life.
Strange! This Buslaiev characteristic in Tolstoy was perceive...d through some mys- terious intuition of Olaf Gulbranson, the car- icaturist of "Simplicissimus" : look closely at his drawing, and you will see how startlingly he has got the likeness of the real Tolstoy, what intellectual daring there is in that face with its veiled and hidden eyes, for which nothing is sacred and which believe "neither in a sneeze, nor a dream, nor the cawing of a bird." The old magician stands before me, alien to all, a solitary traveler through all the des- erts of thought in search of an all-embracing [66] truth which he has not found — I look at him and, although I feel sorrow for the loss, I feel pride at having seen the man, and that pride alleviates my pain and grief.
