About this copy
Maurice Collis brings the great Venetian traveller vividly to life in this absorbing account of Marco Polo's journey across Persia to the court of Kublai Khan and his years in China. Drawing on a lifetime of scholarship on the East, Collis weaves together the Silk Road, the Mongol world and the wonders of the Yuan court into a richly readable history that remains a favourite with lovers of travel writing. This copy is the 1959 new edition in Faber's distinctive paper covered series, with its bold yellow cover and black spine band, a striking piece for any shelf.
