What reading level is The History of Danish Dreams: a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The shoemaker’s soul is the last one in Lavnœs to have been won for the Lord, an event that came about after Anna’s father, Thorvald Bak, the village pastor, had lain in wait all through one lifelessly cold and frosty night behind a tree until the shoemaker appeared, riding home—and lolling drunkenly on his mount—from Rudkøbing. Then, from among the trees, Bak called out, “Dismount, shoemaker. Your Lord wishes to speak to you!”
Sobered by terror, standing barefoot in snow that is as loose as pow...der and burns like poisoned needles, the shoemaker hears the voice of God issuing from the black forest and shattering the frozen branches like glass. He returns to Lavnœs burning with fever and filled with religious visions. A week later he dies of pneumonia with the pastor and the villagers standing by his box bed, where they are afforded wonderful proof of the divine life that has been aroused in the dying man. Nevertheless, his soul is about to slip through their fingers. As his life ebbs away he wavers, appalled by the thought of an eternity without alcohol, and calls for aquavit.
