This text provides a historical account of life among the tribes near the Afghan border, originally published in 1917. The Dutch used in this document reflects the spelling conventions of that era, which may present a challenge for modern learners. The vocabulary is descriptive and focuses on anthropological observations and social customs. You will encounter formal sentence structures and specific terminology related to the region. It is a suitable choice for those interested in historical travel writing and early twentieth century Dutch prose.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 2 h 27 min at a native pace, spread over 4 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
