This essay explores the psychological and moral foundations of human character, focusing on the tension between mediocrity and the pursuit of ideals. Written in the early twentieth century, the text uses sophisticated, philosophical vocabulary and long, rhythmic sentences that demand a high level of reading comprehension. It is a challenging work for learners, as it relies on abstract concepts and literary references. You will encounter complex syntax and a formal tone that reflects the intellectual climate of its time.

Questions about this book
What level of Spanish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 6 h 16 min at a native pace, spread over 41 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
