What reading level is Amiels Journal volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
History, politics, economical science, education, practical philosophy these are our sub- jects. We have everything to lose in the 306 AMIEL'S JOURNAL.
attempt to make ourselves mere Frenchified copies of the Parisians : by so doing we are merely carrying water to the Seine. Inde- pendent criticism is perhaps easier at Geneva than at Paris, and Geneva ought to remain faithful to her own special line, which, as compared with that of France, is one of greater freedom from the tyranny of taste and... fashion on the one hand, and the tyranny of ruling opinion on the other of Catholicism or Jacobinism. Geneva should be to La Grande Nation what Diogenes was to Alexander ; her role is to represent the in- dependent thought and the free speech which is not dazzled by prestige, and does not blink the truth. It is true that the role is an un- grateful one, that it lends itself to sarcasm and misrepresentation but what matter ?
