What reading level is The Memoirs of Count Carlo Gozzi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before long a good Dominican appeared, who prepared me to die with the courage of an ancient Roman. Our modern sages may laugh at this plebeian wish of mine to make my peace with Heaven ; but I have never been able to dissociate philosophy from religion. Satisfied to remain a little child before the mysteries of faith, I do not envy wise men in their disengagement from spiritual terrors.
The chief physician, Danieli, a man of prodigious corpulence and blackness, who had been sent to my assistan...ce by the Governor, spared no attentions and no remedies. As usual, they proved unavailing ; and he bade me prepare myself for death by receiving the holy sacrament. I summoned what remained to me of vital force, and went through this ceremony with devotion. There seemed to be so little diflfer- ence between a sepulchre and the room in which my body lay, that I felt no disgust at relinquishing my corpse to the grave-diggers. I was now ready for the RECOVERY. 223 last unction, when an attack of hemorrhage from the nostrils, like those which had already nearly brought me to death's door, recalled me for the nonce to life.
