Travels
Marco Polo was the most famous traveller of his time. On his return to the West he was made a prisoner of war and met Rustichello of Pisa, with whom he collaborated on this book. His voyages began in 1271 with a visit to China, after which he served the Kubilai Khan on numerous diplomatic missions.
He tells the story of the holy shoemaker, the wicked caliph and the three kings, among a great many others, evoking a remote and long-vanished world with colour and immediacy.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
