What reading level is The Emigrant book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You are laughing, Irene Pavlovna. But indeed many a new view that seemed strange at first has, after fifty or a hundred years, become generally accepted and positively commonplace. We have, for the time being, forgotten the ancient precept Know thyself ; if we took it to heart, we could often be our own doctors, for indeed we each have within ourselves an enormous power of self-treatment. Our Christian confessions the so-called examens de conscience of the Catholics are nothing but minute obser...va- tions of ourselves. In former times people took communion, and therefore went to con- THE EMIGRANT 177 fession, every Sunday. They were obliged, once a week, critically to examine all their actions, and to decide which of them had been sinful (i. E. , not normal). Beyond this they had to talk these actions over with their spiritual advisers, men chosen for this purpose because they were considered worthy of respect and confidence (i. E. , because they were normal and healthy). Unfortunately, how- ever, it always happens that customs initiated by master minds for the lasting benefit of humanity, invariably, after a time, fall into the hands of incapable mediocrities, who do not understand the true meaning and object of the ideas in question, and transform them into mechanical poses, from which all sincere natures must turn away.
