Toward the end of the thirteenth century, at about the time Marco
Polo was being received by the great Khubilai Khan, a Nestorian
Christian monk from China called Rabban Sauma was making the
reverse journey from the Mongol capital (what is now Beijing) to
Jerusalem. Upon reaching Baghdad - the first traveler to arrive
from China - Sauma learned that his pilgrimage could not be
fulfilled because of Islamic control of the Holy Land. In "Voyager
from Xanadu", Morris Rossabi traces Sauma's trans-Eurasian travels
against the turbulent era of the Mongol Empire and the last
Crusades. His indispensable book provides a unique first-hand Asian
perspective on Europe and illuminates a crucial period in the early
history of global, diplomatic, and commercial networking.
