What reading level is The Toilers of the Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At night, on rocky points with a sinister reputation, strange lights—seen, it is said, by prowlers along the shore—warn or deceive. These same prowlers, bold and credulous characters, distinguish under the water the legendary sea cucumber, that infernal marine nettle that will set a man’s hand on fire if he touches it. Some local names, for example, Tinttajeu (from Welsh Tin-Tagel), point to the presence of the Devil. As Eustace (the name of Wace) says in the old lines—Then surged the sea,The wa...ves ’gan swell and stir,The skies grew black, and black the clouds.And soon the sea was all aroused.The Channel is as unsubdued today as it was in the time of Tewdrig, Umbrafel, Amon Dhû, the Black, and the knight Emyr Lhydau,4 who sought refuge on the island of Groix, near Quimperlé. In these parts the ocean puts on coups de théâtre of which man must beware. This, for example, which is one of the commonest caprices of the winds in the Channel Islands: a storm blows in from the southeast; then there is a period of dead calm; you breathe again; this sometimes lasts for an hour; suddenly the hurricane, which had died down in the southeast, returns from the northwest; whereas previously it took you in the rear, it now reverses direction and takes you head on.
