What reading level is The Greatest Books in the World; Interpretive Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Paul, in the prime of his strength talking to the Corinthians, or St. John, old, telling of the divine revelation on Patmos, or Sheherazade, young and pitiful in her doom, picturing with a less solemn but not a less human longing, "such riches as the kings of the earth have not seen." In the "Arabian Nights," not alone in the individual story of Sheherazade, but again and again in those fascinating and ingenious tales she tells, we see man meeting the needs of life, with all their difficulty an...d happening and perplexity, not by patience and endurance, as we see it in the "Odyssey"; not by law and ordered justice, as in the "Divine Comedy"; nor by service to others, as in "Faust, " but rather by that faculty for ingenuity and invention which is at bottom little else than hope itself. Sheherazade's inven- tion of the Arabian tales is really her desire for life, her hope turned to that form, her hope of escaping her doom. For hope is, indeed, always a kind of higher ingenuity, fitting the broken and scattered pieces of life into a colored and beautiful pattern.
