What reading level is Nuns And Soldiers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Guy Openshaw is dying and, with the terrible eloquence of so many of Iris Murdoch’s characters, he unflinchingly contemplates the prospect of his imminent extinction. Does one, he asks, die as an animal, in exhaustion or in some kind of trance? ‘Our breaths are numbered,’ he remarks. ‘I can see the imaginable number of my own - just coming - into view.’ He wants to die well, ‘but how is it done?’ When will he decide to stop shaving forever? Guy’s mind is beginning to fragment: he utters disconne...cted, mysteriously elusive phrases, which disturb his wife Gertrude and his friends. They show that he has already started the journey into ‘that future when I won’t exist any more’.
Human beings are the only animals who have to live with the knowledge of their own mortality. This fear of annihilation, of nonbeing, is a constant reality in our lives. We are creatures who fall very easily into despair, and we have been ingenious in our search for solutions that will save our sanity.
