Now in a handsome and newly revised hardcover edition: the
extraordinary travelogue that has enthralled readers for more than
seven centuries.
Marco Polo's vivid descriptions of the splendid cities and people
he encountered on his journey along the Silk Road through the
Middle East, South Asia, and China opened a window for his Western
readers onto the fascinations of the East and continued to grow in
popularity over the succeeding centuries. To a contemporary
audience, his colorful stories--and above all, his breathtaking
description of the court of the great Kublai Khan, Mongol emperor
of China--offer dazzling portraits of worlds long gone.
The classic Marsden and Wright translation of "The Travels "has
been revised and updated by Peter Harris, with new notes, a
bibliography, and an introduction by award-winning travel writer
Colin Thubron.
