Beskrivelse
Chosen as one of the ten best adventure books of all time by National Geographic Adventure. An adventure narrative reissue from the original 1926 edition. Marco Polo chronicles the thirteenth-century Venice, his birthplace, to Asia. Marco Polo tells of the foreign peoples he meets as he travels by foot, horse, and boat through places including Persia, the land of the Tartars, Tibet, India, and, most important, China. There he stays at the court of Kublai Khan, venturing to the capital of Beijing and to Shangtu, made immortal in Coleridge’s poem “Xanadu.” This is a gripping look at a legendary place and time.
