Table of ContentsReviewsArguably history's most prodigious traveller, the Venetian Marco Polo became a functionary in the court of the great Khan on whose behalf he visited the outlying ports that stretched from modern China to Afghanistan. This account of these experiences is riveting. (Kirkus UK) Author InformationMarco Polo was born in 1254, joining his father on a journey to China in 1271. He spent the next twenty years travelling in the service of Kubilai Khan. There is evidence that Marco travelled extensively in the Mongol Empire and it is fairly certain he visted India. He wrote the travels whilst a prisoner in Genoa. Ronald Latham has published widely on Medieval studies. He died in 1992. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
