MARCO POLO

ras dejar una profunda influencia en la visión que la Europa medieval se formó del mundo, esta narración de las asombrosas experiencias de un comerciante veneciano del siglo XIII en la corte del gran líder mongol Kublai Khan sigue siendo uno de los más fascinantes relatos de aventuras jamás escritos.

Marco Polo (1254-1324) spent the best part of 20 years globe-trotting from the Polar Sea to Java, from Zanzibar to Japan and probably travelled more extensively than anyone before him. His travels began in 1271 when he accompanied his father and uncle on their second visit to China.

This text chronicles the 13th-century world, from Venice, the birthplace of Marco Polo, to the far reaches of Asia. Marco Polo Tells of the foreign peoples he meets as he travels by foot, horse and boat through the orient. He visits places such as Persia, Tibet, India and China where he stays at the courts of the Kublai Khan.
