It was perhaps the first book to achieve best-seller status before
the invention of the printing press-it was certainly the most
controversial. Did Venetian trader and explorer MARCO POLO
(1254-1324) actually reach the court of Kublai Khan, serve the
emperor as his emissary, and journey the distant lands of Cathay
for 17 years, as he relates in his Travels of Marco Polo? The
question still hasn't quite been settled today... but whether Polo
experienced firsthand the wonders of ancient China, retold tales he
heard from Arab travelers along the Silk Road, or simply invented
half his stories, this remains a delightful read for fans of
history, adventure, and medieval literature.
