What reading level is The Story of a Siberian Exile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There the rod and the bastinado are the daily bread of our poor students and artisans, who are in general banished thither. There remains the fortress of Akatouia, not far from Nertchinsk, the last punishment reserved for the greatest criminals, and for convicts who revolt, or are taken in the attempt to break their ban. Here it was that Peter Wysopki, after the bad success of his con- spiracy in Siberia, was at last shut up. I know nothing of this mysterious place, and I can say nothing about ...it, for I have never seen any one who had penetrated its mystery ; but I only know that, throughout Siberia, the very name is pronounced with an indescribable terror.
The contempt which the inhabitants of the country very naturally have for the felon, falls back also upon the man who is simply deported ; and the exile may often hear himself insulted with the name of varnak,- an indigenous expression which conveys a concentrated notion of abjectness and infamy. He who is deported has no civil rights, his deposition cannot be taken in any court of justice, and his wife, if he has left one in his native country, may contract a second marriage.
