What reading level is The Great Closed Land : a Plea for Tibet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Other articles of food are rice, boiled mutton, and yak's flesh, broth, sweetmeats, and fruit from Kashmir and China. Very little beef is eaten in Tibet, as it is considered wasteful to kill cattle for the sake of eating them.
All Tibetans drink to excess when possible. Every tribe has some kind of intoxicant : the favourite is chang, a dirty-looking beer, made of barley.
The Tibetans are practically free from the habit of opium-smoking, but are greatly given to the use of tobacco and snuff, th...e snuff-box being almost as inseparable a companion as the pu-ku. The lamas take great quantities of snuff, but do not smoke.
In character, the Tibetans compare very favourably with most heathen nations. They are truthful, good-natured, cheerful, friendly, industrious, The Tibetans. 41 honest, enduring, seldom angry, and soon ready to make up quarrels. On more than one occasion, Nomads, who were not Christians, have borrowed money from the Moravian missionaries in Ladak, with which to pay their tribute, and have returned to repay it with much gratitude, before the time had expired for which it was lent.
