What reading level is A Night in the Luxembourg book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It was I who guided the young Lucretius towards Zeno, from whose mouth he learnt to love and understand our Epicurus. I found again in this sombre Roman genius some- thing of the voluptuous habit of mind that ennobled Epicurus, a similar desire of knowledge, and at the same time a respect for the secret movements of life. His existence would have been that of a dreamer, if the future had not tormented him with his passions. He was loved, and was persecuted by jealousy, he, who asked nothing fro...m his mistress but peace for his flesh and peace for his thought. He loved. Love made an observer of the dreamer. He wished to learn the cause of love, and learnt that love was life itself; he wished to learn the cause of life, and learnt that life, that is to say eter- nal movement, was its own cause. The great adventures of ambition that he 92 A NIGHT IN THE ■ LUXEMBOURG witnessed also did much to detach him from social pleasures. The actions of animals, so simple, so precise, seemed to him more interesting than the bloody com- bats of a few madmen who bought by a crime the certainty of dying by a crime.
