What reading level is The Toilers of the Sea: a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rock on this side being much broken up, there were abundant cracks, and he was able to fix even more nails there than in the base of the two Douvres.
Suddenly, and as if some great breath had passed over it, the luminous appearance on the waters vanished. The twilight, becoming paler every moment, assumed its functions.
The nails being driven, Gilliatt dragged beams and cords, and then chains to the spot; and without taking his eyes off his work, or permitting his mind to be diverted for a ...mo- ment, he began to construct across the gorge of "The Man," with beams fixed horizontally and made fast by cables, one of those open barriers which science has now adopted under the nai%e of breakwaters.
Those who have witnessed, for example, at La Rocquaine in Guernsey, or at Bourg-d'Eau in Erance, the effect produced by a few posts fixed! in the rock, will understand the power of these simple preparations. This sort of break- water is a combination of what is called in Erance epi with what is called in England "a dam." The breakwater is the cheivaux-de-frise of fortifications against tempests.
