What reading level is Tolstoy, the Man And His Message book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Prince has been banished to his es- tate on account of his political ideas, and although the term of his exile has long passed, he remains 179 TOLSTOY THE MAN just where he was sent ; for, he says, "If they want me at court, let them send for me." They do need him, and the chief dignitaries of Russia come and ask his assistance in the war then in progress. He is a man who is severe toward his subordinates, among whom one must count his daughter Marya, whom he loves in his haughty way, and w...ho always prays, be- fore a meeting between herself and her father, that it may pass off peacefully. If she has a thought of rebellion she blames herself, and thinks that she has sinned. She is very homely, like nearly all the good people portrayed by Tol- stoy, who, if he were to paint or describe the Christ, would no doubt do so after the manner of the prophet Isaiah, as "A root out of a dry ground : he hath no form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him." But Marya with all her homeliness is beautiful, because out of her large blue eyes shines the love of Christ, " who suffered because he loved men, although he was God." Marya's aim and desire are to bless all who hate her and despitef uUy use her, and to serve all who need her.
