What reading level is Switzerland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Preux wrote his love-letters, and strained his eyes with gazing across the water at his Julie's home, at Clarens.
360 Rousseau and Voltaire.
" Clarens! sweet Clarens! birth-place of deep love! Thine air is the young breath of passionate thought; Thy trees take root in love ; the snows above The very glaciers have his colors caught, And sunset into rose-hues sees them wrought By rays which sleep there lovingly. " There, too, Rousseau wrote the " Emile " and the " Contrat Social, " which raised a... storm he was unable to meet. Paris condemned Emile to be burned, and in Geneva both books were torn by the hangman. Public opinion was so strong against him that he finally left the neighborhood of Geneva, and after living for a time on an island in the Lake of Brienz, gave up Switzerland forever.
" Here the self-torturing sophist, wild Rousseau, The apostle of affection ; he who threw Enchantment o'er passion, and from woe Wrung overwhelming eloquence, first drew The breath that made him wretched : yet he knew How to make madness beautiful, and cast O'er erring deeds and thoughts a heavenly hue Of words, like sunbeams, dazzling as they past The eyes, which o'er them shed tears feelingly and fast.
