Description

Marco Polo was the most famous traveller of his time.

His voyages began in 1271 with a visit to China, after which he served the Kubilai Khan on numerous diplomatic missions.

On his return to the West he was made a prisoner of war and met Rustichello of Pisa, with whom he collaborated on this book.

The accounts of his travels provide a fascinating glimpse of the different societies he encountered: their religions, customs, ceremonies and way of life; on the spices and silks of the East; on precious gems, exotic vegetation and wild beasts.

He tells the story of the holy shoemaker, the wicked caliph and the three kings, among a great many others, evoking a remote and long-vanished world with colour and immediacy.
