Publisher Notes
An insightful portrait of the thirteenth-century explorer, adventurer, and global traveler follows Marco Polo from his youth in Venice as the scion of a wealthy merchant family, to his journey to Asia and role in the court of Kublai Khan, to his return to Europe, his introduction of such Chinese innovations as gunpowder and pasta, and his influence on the history of his era. Simultaneous.
Media Reviews
"In his splendid MARCO POLO: FROM VENICE TO XANADU, the well-known biographer Laurence Bergreen offers not so much a conventional biography as the lively reconstruction of a supreme adventure."
