What reading level is Prometheus Illbound book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Besides, having made man in my image, I now understood that in^very man there was something hatching ; in each one was the eagle's egg. . . . And then, I do not know ; I cannot explain this. — All that I know is that, not satisfied with giving them con- sciousness of existence, I also wished to, give them a reason for existence. So I gave ' them Fire, flame and all the arts which a flame nourishes. By warming their minds, I brought forth the devouring faith in pro- gress. And I was strangely ha...ppy when their health was consumed in producing it. No more belief in good, but the morbid hope 66 for better. The belief in progress, gentle- men, that was their eagle. Our eagle is our reason for existence, gentlemen. Man's happiness grew less and less — but that was nothing to me : the eagle was born, gentlemen ! I loved men no more, I loved what fed on them. I had had enough of a humanity without history. . . . The history of man is the history of their eagles, gentle- men. :f l-V At' / / 67 viir Applause broke out here and there.
