To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He did this with cold, tearlesscomposure, with an immovable, iron countenance; no muscle of his facequivered, and his glance was severe and imperious. But, when Hortense brought in her two sons, when he had clasped them inhis arms for the last time, then a shadow passed over his countenance;then his pale compressed lips quivered, and he turned away to concealthe tears that stood in his eyes. But Hortense had seen them, and in her heart she preserved theremembrance of these tears as the most pre...cious gem of her departedfortune. As the emperor then turned to her to bid her adieu in hisformer cold and immovable manner, Hortense, who well knew that a volcanoof torments must be glowing under this cold lava, entreated him to granther a last favor. A painful smile illumined the emperor's countenance for a moment. Therewas, it seemed, still something that he could grant; he was notaltogether powerless! With a mute inclination of the head he signifiedhis assent. Hortense handed him a broad black belt.
