What reading level is The Faith of Robert Louis Stevenson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He has a Hebrew con- science and a Greek imagination, a Scottish sense of sin and a French delight in beauty. Austerity might con- ceivably claim such a spirit for its own, and send him eventually forth in sackcloth, a prophet of pessimism. On the other hand, by sheer force of reaction from his sense of the tragic in human life, he might have left the bitter problems alone and turned to lightness.
As a matter of fact, he took neither of these courses, but one better and more true to himself tha...n either of them. Tn him duty and pleasure were both imperative and he 230 MANLINESS AND HEALTH managed to retain them both. A passing sentence in a letter to Mr. Edmund Gosse may serve to illustrate this. He is counselling his friend regarding style: 'And in a style which (like yours) aims more and more successfully at the academic, one purple word is already much ; three — a whole phrase — is inadmissible. Wed yourself to a clean austerity; that is your force. Wear a linen ephod, splendidly candid' The words which we have italicised are delightfully significant.
