What reading level is Alexandre Dumas Pre His Life And Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what matters that ? The hero does not brag unduly, nor does he as some have falsely said represent himself as a fighter of unqualified valour and a patriot of reckless self-sacrifice. On the contrary, the posi- tion he claims is that of an amateur moved mainly by curiosity, and occasionally carried by impulse into action. When he felt afraid he confesses the fact, when he took shelter from the bullets he tells us so, when he retreated he owns that he acted from prudence. It is true that he ...compares himself at different times to Xenophon, to Hanni- bal, to Caesar and to Napoleon : but who is so blunt to the sense of humour as not to perceive that the vein is mock- heroic, and one of the most delightful specimens of that style which can anywhere be found ?
These observations apply primarily to the general account of events in Paris, but they may be extended with dis- crimination to that one episode of the July Revolution which belongs peculiarly to Dumas and the general authen- ticity of which he was able, when challenged, to establish 123 THE LIFE OF DUMAS beyond doubt.
