Description
Marco Polo's Travels offers a fascinating glimpse into a remote and long-vanished world. In 1271, his journeys began with a visit to China, followed by diplomatic missions in the Far East.
The account of his travels provides an insight into unfamiliar religions, new customs and societies, exotic spices, silks, precious gems, wild beasts, and vegetation from faraway lands.
Nigel Cliff's new translation, based on medieval sources, brings this remarkable travelogue to life with a lively introduction and notes. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition represents the best works of history and literature throughout the ages.
