Review:

Few books can truly be said to have changed the world; for all its naysayers, Marco Polo's Travels is one of them (Nigel Cliff)

About the Author:

Marco 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 Kublai Khan. There is evidence that Marco travelled extensively in the Mongol Empire and it is fairly certain he visited India. He wrote his famous Travels whilst a prisoner in Genoa.
