The Travels of Marco Polo
The book is an immensely entertaining and readable account. Here's a book that looks fantastic on the cover: it's the story of Marco Polo's incredible travels to the East, told by the man himself. While some regard it as suspect that he traveled to Yuan Dynasty China and did not mention the largely Han The Travels of Marco Polo may be perhaps the most challenging travelogue ever put together. Difficulty that is difficult to appreciate in our modern world. But really I found it pretty interesting and fun. The impact of Polo's book on cartography was delayed: the first map in which some names mentioned by Polo appear was in the Catalan Atlas of Charles V , which included thirty names in China and a number of other Asian toponyms. His voyages began in with a visit to China, after which he served the Kublai Khan on numerous diplomatic missions.
