Description
The Travels by Marco Polo is a fascinating account of the author's journeys to China and beyond. In 1271, Polo embarked on a series of diplomatic missions for the Kubilai Khan, which took him to distant lands and introduced him to new cultures.
On his return to Europe, Polo was imprisoned and collaborated with Rustichello of Pisa on this book, providing a unique glimpse into the societies he encountered. The Travels offers a vivid portrayal of the East's customs, ceremonies, and way of life, as well as its precious gems, exotic vegetation, and wild beasts.
Published by Penguin Publishing Group, this edition has been carefully prepared for readers in the English-speaking world. With its authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, The Travels is a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, travel, or biography.
