Summary:
The Travels of Marco Polo is the classic account of Marco Polo’s journey to China from Venice, and his discoveries as an emissary to the fantastic Kublai Khan. Polo explores all over the place from Baghdad, Armenia and Russia to the Caspian Ocean, the Gobi Desert and the tiny angling villages of China, describing the geography, structures and customs of these exotic areas. He tells tales of assassins, cannibals, fantastical pets, feasts and battles, and gives a fascinating account from the multicultural empire of Kublai Khan. The Travels is thought to have influenced the voyages of Magellan and Columbus, the second option having held an annotated duplicate among his belongings. It remains probably one of the most amusing travelogues around.
