What reading level is Life of Heinrich Heine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

We can imagine the poet lying back in his post-chaise, looking ever eagerly southward, and perhaps humming the exquisite lyric of Goethe's, " The land where the citrons bloom. " In his HEINE. 121 *' Italien '^ he has described how he entered Italy, the ancient town of Trent, as in a dream. From Trent he journeyed to Verona, of which he has given a charming record ', and thence went by Brescia, Milan, and the battle- field of Marengo to Genoa. How his soul thrilled, he tells us, when the postill...ion suddenly informed him that they were travelling over the scene of Napoleon's great victory ! The thought of war called to his mind the spiritual grandeur of that conflict of man with his mightiest hereditary enemy — Death : and from this he passes on to say that he would fain be remembered as a soldier for humanity rather than as a mere singer of sweet songs. "Poetry, " he records, "has always been with me only a sacred plaything, a consecrated instrument as it were. I have ever placed but slight value upon poetic fame, and my future repute troubles me not at all.
