What reading level is The Mantle of the East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first man comes down like a winged duck ; the second falls on to the verandah wounded. IN A GARDEN AT GYANTSE. 81 But it is enough. The Tibetans are drop- ping into the street beyond. Few of them escape. This kind of street -fighting was an almost daily experience with Smith and Brown for a couple of months in Tibet, but they are modest unostentatious boys, and their names do not appear in despatches. Yet it was hot work. On one or two occasions fifty per cent of the British officers engage...d were killed or wounded. In the courtyard Smith meets Major Y. , who lifts up a mangled left hand with the thumb hanging loose and a deep gash across the wrist. His face is expanded in a broad smile as he says with a slow drawl, " Isn't this funny?" a remark that voices a very common feeling when men's pulses beat slower after a fight. Three months afterwards we were back in Gyantse. We had trodden many paths that had never been profaned by the children of progress. We had been to Lhasa and achieved the impossible.
