What reading level is The Evolution of An Intellectual book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Often we pass over the chasms from one firm rock to another and do not look down ; only at a later moment does it flash into our minds that if we had looked down we should have seen things un- speakable. While we are still doubting, the moment comes when the suffering soul seems to utter a word that is and is not. A phrase looms up whose meaning is out of all relation to its actual words, ridiculous and terrible, and we are engulfed and lost in an abyss of pain.
This was the method of "La Vie d...es Martyrs " ; and it is the method of the greater part of "Civilisation, 1914-1917," though even in this part there are significant differences.
In the former book the martyrs were all con- scious of their martyrdom, but now M. The- venin turns us deliberately towards men whose P 65 The Evolution of an Intellectual wounds are such that their rational part is completely swept away. He does this, we feel, with an instinctive determination to con- front us with the most material aspect of pain. One cannot, indeed, lend imagination to those who have it not, but if they have eyes to see they shall at least be made to see.
