About this book
The Travels of Marco Polo records the journeys of the Venetian merchant Marco Polo (1254-1324) across Asia to the court of Kublai Khan, dictated to the romance-writer Rustichello of Pisa while the two shared a Genoese prison around 1298. The book carried Cathay, Cipangu, and the wealth of the Indies into the European imagination and was carried by Columbus, annotated in his own hand, two centuries later. For all the doubts about its details, it remains the most influential travel book ever written. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
