Now in a handsome and newly revised hardcover edition: the extraordinary travelogue that has enthralled readers for more than seven centuries. Marco Polo's vivid descriptions of the splendid cities and people he encountered on his journey along the Silk Road through the Middle East, South Asia, and China opened a window for his Western readers onto the fascinations of the East and continued to grow in popularity over the succeeding centuries. To a contemporary audience, his colorful stories-and above all, his breathtaking description of the court of the great Kublai Khan, Mongol emperor of China-offer dazzling portraits of worlds long gone. The classic Marsden and Wright translation of The Travels has been revised and updated by Peter Harris, with new notes, a bibliography, and an introduction by award-winning travel writer Colin Thubron.

Marco Polo (ca. 1254-1324) stammte aus Venedig und bereiste mit Vater und Onkel den Orient. Die älteren Polos hatten vom mongolischen Großkhan den Auftrag erhalten, eine Botschaft des Papstes sowie Öl aus der Grabeskirche nach Peking zu bringen. Ihre Reise führte sie von Palästina (Akko, Jerusalem) über Stationen in Persien (Isfahan, Kerman) und die Seidenstraße (Samarkand) bis nach China und Japan. Polo berichtet so Wundersames, dass mancher Kritikus auf die Idee kam, die Reise habe nie (oder nicht so) stattgefunden. Marco Polos Ruhm hat das bis heute nicht geschadet.Marco Polo, geboren vermutlich 1254 in Venedig und verstorben 1324, ebenfalls in Venedig, war ein Händler, der wegen der Berichte über eine mehrjährige China-Reise Bekanntheit erlangte.
