Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Travels of Marco Polo: For Boys and Girls Notes To the student of geography Marco Polo needs no introduction. He is revered as the greatest of all travellers in the Middle Ages, and, by more than one careful geographer, his work is believed to have led to the discovery of the New World by the Hardy Mariner of Genoa. Before his time no explorer from Europe had traversed the entire longitude of Asia, and given a list of its Empires and Kingdoms in the order in which they lay along his route. He was the first traveller who told us of the Steppes of Central Asia, the Mountains and Rivers of Cathay, the plateau of "The Roof of the World," and the Desert Plains of Mongolia. He was the first to give us a detailed description of the people of China, the pomp and splendor of the Court of Kublai Khan, the wonders of the Indian Archipelago, the tropical luxuriance of Java and Sumatra, and the strange productions of Siam and Laos, of Burmah and Cochin-China, and the far-off Islands of Madagascar and Zanzibar. It was from Marco Polo that Europe first learned of the existence of Japan, and from him, too, it derived its first knowledge of the Land of Darkness in the Far North, and of the Arctic Ocean beyond. His description ranges from Siberia to Ceylon, and from the Adriatic Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The story of his travels was received with incredulity, and he died while Europe was gravely doubting its truth. It has remained for later generations to establish the correctness of his narrative and accord him the praise he so richly deserves. In preparing this volume for the press, the writer has exercised the greatest care In endeavoring to adapt it for the youthful reader.

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.
