What reading level is Coronation Everest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The very idea of Mount Everest has lost some of its magic, as our world has shrunk, humanity has multiplied itself and almost nowhere is unfamiliar. Men have walked on the Moon since 1953, and literally hundreds of men and women have stood on the very spot, 29,002 feet above sea level, where Hillary and Tenzing wrote their names in the history books fifty years ago.
Many of them have gone there as clients of commercial climbing outfits, paying large sums of money for the experience, and this... has demeaned the reputation of Everest as a place of spiritual meaning. So has the litter they have left behind them. So has the new ease of access to the mountain, by aircraft and motor-road, and by the proliferation of lodges and hotels along the trekking routes. So has the plethora of books, magazine articles, memoirs, films and videos, some magnificent, some wretched, which has made more worldly the once transcendental image of Chomolungma.
The notion of a Queen of England’s coronation has lost its arcane fascination, too.
