What reading level is On the Outskirts of Empire in Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And 8 P. M. , a cloth was laid, and large flat slabs of bread spread all round, a space being left in the centre for dishes. Bowls of pilao and dishes of mutton were then placed in the middle, and when we had each been given a plate, spatchcocked fowls were brought in on skewers, pulled off, and placed on the table in front of us. Knives and forks were conspicuous by their absence, but at the invitation of our host to set to, a dozen hands were plunged into the rice — rather a greasy performanc...e, since it was cooked in butter — and dis- membered the fowls which lay scattered about on the table. We went ahead merrily, stuffing handfuls of meat and rice into our mouths until hunger was appeased and thirst satisfied with the goats' milk which formed the staple drink, when a servant came round and poured water over our hands from a brazen ewer. That brought the meal to an end. Simple but effective was my reflection after it was finished. Personally I felt that I was clumsy, from being un- used to eating everything with my fingers, I suppose ; but for those accustomed to it, it appears possible to dispose of a maximum of food in a minimum of time — if I may judge by the performances of my fellow-guests, at least !
