What reading level is An Altruist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is repeating to him- self what he said to the old duke, " fais ce que dois ad- vienne que pourra, " and he is conscious that the injunction has its thorny side like most other virtuous things. He has been unable to sleep all night for the tormenting visions evoked by Folliott's visit and his dead cousin's bequest. Because you valorously resist a temptation it does not any the less sharply assail you. Because you limit yourself strictly to rice croquettes you do not the less painfully recall ...the forbidden flavour of a salmi of game. He considers it no 90 An Altruist ^ more possible for him in com- mon decency to accept this property than to embrace Mahomedanism or renounce clothing ; but none the less is he haunted by the possibilities that its possession would bring with it. He is human, and his heart is heavy as he walks along in the pleasant April wind. He realises that there are many charming things which he has renounced — voluntarily re- nounced, indeed ; but, then, is it really more agreeable to kill oneself than to be killed ^ Any- how, the result is the same ; the grave is as deep and the sleep as eternal.
