Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Did Marco Polo reach China? This richly illustrated companion volume to the public television film chronicles the remarkable two-year expedition of explorers Denis Belliveau and Francis O'Donnell as they sought the answer to this controversial 700-year-old question. With Polo's book, The Travels of Marco Polo, as their guide, they journeyed over 25,000 miles becoming the first to retrace his entire path by land and sea without resorting to helicopters or airplanes." "Accompanied by 200 stunning full-color photographs, the text provides a fascinating account of the lands and peoples the two hardy adventurers encountered during their perilous journey. The authors' experiences are remarkably similar to descriptions from Polo's account of his own travels and life. Laden with adventure, humor, diplomacy, history, and art, this book is compelling proof that travel is the enemy of bigotry - a truth that resonates from Marco Polo's time to our own."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can one book really change the world? A handwritten manuscript by Marco Polo in 1288 did. Polo, son of a wealthy Italian merchant, wrote about his incredible experiences traveling to China with his father and uncle on a trade expedition, and also about his adventures as an envoy of Kublai Khan, the ruler of most of China. Polo’s book became a bestseller in Europe in the fourteenth century. It was copied over and over by hand, translated into fourteen languages, and became one of the first books to be printed after the invention of moveable type. The tales inspired others—including Christopher Columbus in the fifteenth century—to seek new sea routes for trade. Polo’s adventures—and manuscript—are one of world history’s most pivotal moments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Footsteps of Marco Polo: Being the Account of a Journey Overland From Simla to Pekin My sole excuse for venturing to lay before a long-suffering public such a book as this lies in the hope that it may afford a few hours of interest and amusement to those less fortunate than the author in the opportunities they may have had for gratifying that passion for wandering which is inherent in the Anglo-Saxon race. Many whose fate is the busy city were born for the wilds. All honour to them for stifling the innate craving. It is as a humble offering to such kindred spirits that this book is written. My thanks are first of all due to Mr William Blackwood for much kind help in the production of this book. To the proprietors of 'The Cornhill Magazine, ' 'The Standard' and 'Blackwood's Magazine' I am indebted for permission to make use of articles and letters.
