What reading level is Out of the Past : Some Biographical Essays 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was quite another matter to become a priest and to teach, year out and year in, as things which it was absolutely necessary to believe, doctrines which had become to him merely inter- esting products of the human mind working upon facts, the bearing of which it had only imperfectly understood. The Catholicism which he had learnt from the Breton priests was a system from which nothing could be removed without the whole edifice crashing down ; and so it did crash down.
But he retained a very s...trong affection for all that he had left, in so far as it could be disjoined from vain wisdom and false philosophy. Unfortunately, however, Renan in- herited not only the Breton gravity and "Nostalgic de rinfini," but also a large dose of Gaulois vivacity and more than mischievous gaiety. Nor did he debar himself from publishing to the world things which would have been much more in place in the works of a scholar of the seven- teenth than of a religious teacher in the nineteenth century.
It was not for nothing either that he had lived in the Paris which is described in the Journal of the Goncourts.
