What reading level is Reminiscences of Tolstoy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
163 REMINISCENCES OF TOLSTOY No. 6. (Aunt Tanya.) The patient suffers from the mania known as mania demonica completica, a rare malady- affording little hope of cure. The patient belongs to the dangerous category. Origin of the disease, success in youth and the habit of satisfied vanity with no moral principles of life. Symptoms: fear of imaginary personal devils and a particular affection for their works and for every sort of temptation to luxury, malice, and indolence. Anxiety about that life... which does not exist, and indifference to that which does exist. The patient feels herself perpetually in the snares of the Devil, likes to be in his snares and at the same time is afraid of him. The patient suffers acutely from the epidemic mania of Blokhinism. The issue of the case is doubtful because recovery from the fear of the Devil is rendered possible only by renunciation of his works. But his works occupy the whole of the patient's life. Two dif- ferent treatments are possible: either complete surrender to the Devil and his works for the purpose of tasting all their bitterness, or complete estrangement of the patient from the works of the Devil.
