What reading level is Robert Louis Stevenson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had great endowments; but the faculty of quick and sufficient invention seems to have been denied him. Consider what he accomplished despite all disability: and the record remains both for a lesson and an encouragement.
The pose and manner assumed by the narra- 136 R. L. STEVENSON.
tor of the New Arabian Nights escape analysis in their subtlety. The historian is fooling, fooling excellent well ; he knows it, he knows you know it, but his sedate demeanour never for an instant relaxes. The man...ner is doubtless reminiscent of Galland; nevertheless, to transliterate the Frenchman thus is a feat of singular dexterity.
" He was in dress, for he had entertained the notion of visiting a theatre," says the historian, relating the adventure of Lieutenant Bracken- bury Rich. The little pompous touch, the sug- gestion of formality, in that simple statement, convey the whole attitude, — an attitude which exactly fits the occasion, and whose fitness adds another pleasure to the narrative. But a pose, after all, is but a trick of legerdemain, an exercise which is often the resource of the young man, training himself in the use of another's weapons while his own equipment is forging.
