What reading level is Richelieu And the Growth of French Power book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chains were placed in the streets to keep back the vast crowds that gathered to see the great minister as he returned slowly home in his stately litter, triumphant over all his enemies.
The infirm condition of his health seemed to in- crease his activity. One of his followers in a letter written from Tarascon, in August, has described the manner in which the Cardinal spent his days. He was unable to leave his bed, but he had never toiled, so the letter says, more unremittingly than then.
" From... seven to eight he works and dictates, from eight to nine he meditates, at nine he talks with those who may be present, and then comes another hour of work. Then he hears mass, and afterwards dines. From then till two o'clock he has conferences with Mazarin and others, from two to four he works again and afterwards gives audiences to all who have business with him. " 1642J The Close of Richelieu s Career 2 \ 3 Such was the day of an invalid, afflicted by a com- bination of painful maladies and fast sinking to his grave.
