What reading level is Across Siberia On the Great Post-Road book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tea the Eussians drink is generally well diluted.
A strong infusion having been made in a teapot, a small quantity (one or two tablespoonfuls) is poured into a half- pint goblet, which is then filled with boiling water from the samovar. A slice of lemon added is rightly considered an improvement, but milk or cream is never put in Eussian tea ; nor is it ever sweetened, though a lump of sugar is frequently placed on the table beside the tea- glass, and a small piece is bitten off it before e...ach drink.
FROM KHANKA TO THE AMOOR 77 If four or five Russians sit round a samovar of gallon size, they seldom leave off drinking until the samovar is dry.
But tea is not the only beverage of the Eussians in Siberia, nor by any means the strongest, and, great as is the quantity they drink, it is not easy to decide which the average Eussian drinks most of — tea or vodka.
Two days after entering the Sungacha Eiver, at one of the wood stations, a civil engineer in Government uniform wished to take a passage on our steamer ; but he was so noisily and helplessly drunk that our captain had him placed with the steerage passengers on the barge.
