What reading level is The Elixir of Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suddenly the silence was broken by a shrill sound like thecreaking of a rusty spring. It startled Don Juan; he all butdropped the phial. A sweat, colder than the blade of a dagger, issued through every pore. It was only a piece of clockwork, awooden cock that sprang out and crowed three times, an ingeniouscontrivance by which the learned of that epoch were wont to beawakened at the appointed hour to begin the labors of the day. Through the windows there came already a flush of dawn. Thething, c...omposed of wood, and cords, and wheels, and pulleys, wasmore faithful in its service than he in his duty to Bartolommeo--he, a man with that peculiar piece of human mechanism withinhim that we call a heart.
Don Juan the sceptic shut the flask again in the secret drawer inthe Gothic table--he meant to run no more risks of losing themysterious liquid.
Even at that solemn moment he heard the murmur of a crowd in thegallery, a confused sound of voices, of stifled laughter andlight footfalls, and the rustling of silks--the sounds of a bandof revelers struggling for gravity.
