What reading level is Memoirs of Barras, Member of the Directorate 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I had remained under the impression that, in the prolonged conversation we had held, we had been at one on this point ; what was my surprise, on re- ceiving the book, to find, instead of a rectification upon which I thought we had been agreed, a more explicit development and a redoubled persistence in regard to this altogether personal portion, in con- nection with which it seemed to me that the author viil RESIGNATION NOT DEFECTION 477 should have had the modesty, if not of disappearing, at le...ast of keeping somewhat in the background.
Gohier seemed to me to show as little justice and accuracy in regard to myself as in regard to the ensemble of things ; speaking of my going into re- tirement on the i8th Brumaire, he called my resig- nation a "defection." This word wounded me deeply. When comparing my life of exile and the persecutions I had endured for fifteen years, my persistent refusal of any position and all rapproche- ment with France's tyrant, with the behavior of so many under less trying circumstances, I confess that the comparison and introspection filled me with no little pride, and that my irritation at the injustice I thought done me by Gohier added to my emotion.
