Book Description
Marco Polo?s account of his journey throughout the East in the
thirteenth century was one of the earliest European travel
narratives, and it remains the most important. The
merchant-traveler from Venice, the first to cross the entire
continent of Asia, provided us with accurate descriptions of life
in China, Tibet, India, and a hundred other lands, and recorded
customs, natural history, strange sights, historical legends, and
much more. From the dazzling courts of Kublai Khan to the perilous
deserts of Persia, no book contains a richer magazine of marvels
than the Travels.
This edition, selected and edited by the great scholar Manuel
Komroff, also features the classic and stylistically brilliant
Marsden translation, revised and corrected, as well as Komroff?s
Introduction to the 1926 edition.
