Description: Marco Polo and His World, Hardcover by Kinoshita, Sharon, ISBN 1789149371, ISBN-13 9781789149371, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A lavishly illustrated tour of the famed adventurer’s globetrotting travels, written by a celebrated translator of Polo’s writings. At the age of seventeen, Marco Polo left his Venetian home on a continent-spanning adventure that lasted for nearly a quarter century. Imprisoned in Genoa five years later, he collaborated with Arthurian romance writer Rustichello of Pisa on a work they called The Description of the World. That book recounted “all the greatest marvels and great diversities of Greater Armenia, Persia, the Tartars, India, and many other provinces,” a story that made Polo famous for all time. In Marco Polo and His World, Sharon Kinoshita brings these marvels to life, describing the myriad commodities, plants, people, and animals that Marco encountered and recorded. Copiously illustrated, this book offers a vibrant introduction to Marco Polo’s astounding adventures.
