What reading level is The Soul of Napoleon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The genius of Livy followed the Legions of the Roman Republic throughout the world ; that of Tacitus con- centrated itself on the law reiDOii:s (grejfe), and it was here that the real history of the Empire was to be found. It is indeed, in these alone that we can read the historv of nations of those 124 NAPOLEON AND WEIMAR unhappy ages, when princes and their subjects, opposed to one another in principles and ideals, lived in terror of each other. In such times there is little else to chronicle... but the daily records of the criminal courts — ^when death at the hands of the public executioner comes to be regarded almost as the natural way of leaving life.
" Sire, Suetonius and Dion Cassius have chronicled a far greater number of crimes than Tacitus ever chronicled, but they chronicle them in a style which is wholly devoid of energy, whereas nothing is more terrible than the stylus of Tacitus whose genius inclines before the spirit of justice alone. As soon, indeed, as he perceives the presence of Good — even in the reign of that monster Tiberius — he swiftly seizes upon it and gives to it the salience which he gives to everj''- thing he touches.
