What reading level is The Deputy of Arcis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No, it is a father who shows methe utmost coldness, who goes to sleep when deeds which concern ourmutual existence are being drawn, and for whom I, on my side, amconscious of no feeling; in fact, not to mince my words, I shouldthink him a great booby of an _emigre_ if it were not for the filialrespect and duty I force myself to feel for him.
_But_--suppose this man were not my father, not even the Marquis deSallenauve, as he asserts himself to be; suppose, like thatunfortunate Lucien de Rubempr...e, whose history has made so much noise, I were caught in the toils of a serpent like that false abbe DonCarlos Herrera, and had made myself liable to the same awfulawakening. You may say to me that you see no such likelihood; thatCarlos Herrera had an object in fascinating Lucien and making him hisdouble; but that I, an older man with solid principles and no love ofluxury, who have lived a life of thought and toil, should fear suchinfluence, is nonsense.
So be it. But why should the man who recognizes me as his son concealthe very country in which he lives, and the name by which he is knownin that equally nameless Northern land which it is intimated that hegoverns?
