What reading level is Thorvaldsen [microform] : His Life And Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The studio was so arranged that Thorvaldsen had no further pretext for not executing his own statue : he was therefore obliged to yield. He worked at it with tolerable ardour for some days, when he received a letter from Oehlenschlaeger, written from Copenhagen. He had promised to model a bust of the poet, who wrote to insist upon his ardent desire that the promise should be redeemed, with an eagerness which betrayed the vanity of a celebrated man anxious to leave his features to posterity, and... to see them perpetuated by a famous hand. Thorvaldsen was jesting with the Baroness about this letter, and, despite his habitual kindliness, he could not refrain from a little raillery of the poet But he suddenly ceased laughing, and let the letter drop from his hands. '* It becomes me well," said he, "to ridicule the vanity of others, when I myself, at this moment, am doing nothing else than raising a monument of vanity to myself." He dashed his tools violently upon the ground, and would have broken up the statue, but that the Baroness called for help, dragged him out of the studio, and carefully kept the key.
