What reading level is Paul Bourget book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For instance, Baudelaire was happy in his 46 PAUL BOURGET Decadentism, Renan in liis Dilettantism, and Taine in his reverent belief in Science ; Flaubert in his art pour Vart, and Stendhal in his analyses and cosmopolitism ; Dumas no doubt found keen enjoyment in deducing morals from immoral situations, Leconte de Lisle in turning nihilism into lyricism, the poor Goncourts in writing as if they drew, and the poorer Amiel in analyzing himself until he vanished from under his own eyes as we see a... familiar word turn into a per- plexing object when we look at it for a length of time. This happiness was merely the exercising of the prominent faculty in them with its peculiar tinge. As to the unhappiness, it arose in the ten of them from the consciousness that neither morbid Alexandrinism, nor the nuiltiform pleasure of equally understanding the most resolutely opposed views of the world, nor the search after causes and effects, nor any of the intellectual pleasures which ultimately are at the bottom of literar}'^ charm, are enough to blind a man to the inherent sadness of a life about which nothing is certain or in which nothing matters much because every- thing soon comes to an end.
