What reading level is Across Thibet : Being a Translation of "de Paris Au Tonkin à Travers Le Tibet Inconnu" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, by a path which is stony, difficult, and such that a horse cannot always get up with his rider, in four hours we reached the la-La, at an altitude of about 16,500 feet. These excellent people here rightly thought that we should be glad of a draught of milk, which is as welcome as manna in this stony desert, where our only drink is snow that has been sheltered from the sun at the bottom of the crevasses.
After satisfying our hunger and thirst, we continue our journey by a path along a ridg...e as far as the obo that marks the spot where the desert commences. A perfect panorama here stretches out before our eyes. The horizon is clear at the four cardinal points, and a regular ocean of mountains is visible ; quite as many to the north as to the south, only the summits are whiter southwards. This is undoubtedly a magnificent mountain scene, though these " grand views " are, after all, very much alike, and a little stretch of plain would be most acceptable.
After such a climb, it is only right that we should have a scramble down.
