Download or read book The Travels of Marco Polo written by L. F. Benedetto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1931. None of the manuscripts which have come down to us represent the original form of Marco Polo's narrative, but it is clear that certain texts are closer to the lost original than others. Entrusted with the task of preparing a new Italian edition of Marco Polo, Benedetto discovered many unknown manuscripts. He carefully edited the most famous of the manuscripts (the Geographic text) and collated it with the other best known ones. · An invaluable index has been added to Aldo Ricci's of Benedetto's text, which includes all the identifications made in the Geographic text and also later editions by Marsden (1818), Pauthier (1865) and Yule (1871). · The difficulty of following Polo on his many journeys has also been simplified by the process of distinguishing between those places on his main route to China and his return journey by sea to Persia and those places which he visited during his stay in China and those he never visited at all.

Book Marco Polo Didn t Go There

Download or read book Marco Polo Didn t Go There written by Rolf Potts and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is a collection of rollicking travel tales from a young writer USA Today has called “Jack Kerouac for the Internet Age.” For the past ten years, Rolf Potts has taken his keen postmodern travel sensibility into the far fringes of five continents for such prestigious publications as National Geographic Traveler, Salon.com, and The New York Times Magazine. This book documents his boldest, funniest, and most revealing journeys—from getting stranded without water in the Libyan desert, to crashing the set of a Leonardo DiCaprio movie in Thailand, to learning the secrets of Tantric sex in a dubious Indian ashram. Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is more than just an entertaining journey into fascinating corners of the world. The book is a unique window into travel writing, with each chapter containing a “commentary track”—endnotes that reveal the ragged edges behind the experience and creation of each tale. Offbeat and insightful, this book is an engrossing read for students of travel writing as well as armchair wanderers.

Book Quicklet on The Travels of Marco Polo  CliffNotes like Book Summary

Download or read book Quicklet on The Travels of Marco Polo CliffNotes like Book Summary written by Niko Silvester and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quicklets: Your Reading Sidekick! ABOUT THE BOOK The Travels of Marco Polo was written in the 13th century from the accounts of the explorer Marco Polo, as recorded by romance author Rustichello da Pisa while they were both political prisoners in Genoa. Some scholars consider Rustichello da Pisa to be the proper author, and that he based the work on Marco Polos stories but told them in his own words. Other scholars think of the book as a collaboration between the two men, something jointly composed to while away the time in prison. Still others think that Marco Polo should be considered the author, and that he dictated the stories while Rustichello da Pisa acted more as a scribe than co-author. The book is a travelogue, probably originally composed in Old French (though some scholars believe it was actually first written in Latin and then translated to Italian), in which Marco Polo visited Persia, China, Indonesia and other parts of Asia between the years 1271 and 1291. He claims to have become important in the court of the Mongol leader Kublai Khan where he served that dynasty for twenty years, but whether or not that is true, he was certainly a curious and observant traveller. MEET THE AUTHOR Nicole has been writing since she could make letters with a pencil, and has been making a living at it for more than ten years. She has gone back to school too many times, studying archaeology, folklore, writing and visual art. She writes fiction under several pen names, and also does printmaking, book arts, and photography. She's an avid amateur natural historian with a particular fascination for things that fly, whether it's birds, bats or insects. And if it's possible to be both a luddite, with a love for the low-tech, and a technophile, with a fascination for everything new and shiny, Nicole is both. She reads too many books, plays too many video games, and watches too much anime. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK After his father and uncle returned to Venice, Marco Polo set off with them on a new journey though central Asia to China where he apparently became an important dignitary at the court of the Mongol leader Kublai Khan, who was at the time the founder and ruler of Chinas Yuan Dynasty. Marco Polo remained in Kublai Khans court for two decades, before eventually returning to Europe, only to find that the Venice was at war with Genoa. Because of the tensions between the two cities, Marco Polo was taken as a political prisoner in Genoa, where he was imprisoned with a writer of romances, Rustichello da Pisa. To pass the time in prison, the two men worked on Marco Polos biography. After he was released from captivity, Marco Polo returned to Venice where he continued to finance trading expeditions, though he did not himself go on another one. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book The Mongol Empire in World History

Download or read book The Mongol Empire in World History written by Helen Sharon Hundley and published by Association for Asian Studies. This book was released on 2016 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mongol Empire in World History covers an exceptionally large physical landscape. This volume traces the creation of the Mongol Empire of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, an empire that at its greatest extent stretched from Eastern Europe and the Middle East in the west through Central Asia and Inner Asia to modern Korea and China in eastern Asia. Its impact on the peoples of Asia, the Middle East, and Europe are felt to this day. Written for non-experts, this book seeks to introduce general readers to the complex impact of the Mongol Empire on world history. While the military impact of the Mongols does appear in this volume, readers will come away with a greater appreciation of the broader impact of Mongol actions, including especially the impact on trade and the spread of ideas including technology and art, encouraged by the Mongol Empire. The Key Issues in Asian Studies series is the perfect place to present this topic to a wide reading public"--Provided by publisher.
