Marco Polo Knihy

Na přelomu 1271 - 1272 se vypravili do Orientu tři benátští kupci z urozeného rodu Polů. Dostali se až do Číny, zpátky se poté vraceli námořní cestou přes Indočínu, Indonésii, Cejlon a Indii až k Perskému zálivu. Marco Polo byl ovšem mezi tím nějaký čas v Chánových službách.

Milion (italsky Il Milione) je cestopis Marca Pola ze 13. století o jeho cestě do Asie. Po uveřejnění byla kniha v Evropě velmi populární, protože popisovala exotické prostředí, jež bylo v té době v módě spolu s rytířskými příběhy. Marco Polo diktoval příběh románovému spisovateli Rustichellovi z Pisy, když s ním byl v letech 1298–1299 vězněn.

A sparkling new translation of the most famous travel book ever written Marco Polo’s voyages began in 1271 with a visit to China. Afterward, he served Kublai Khan on numerous diplomatic missions in the Far East. His subsequent account of his travels offers a fascinating glimpse of what he encountered abroad: unfamiliar religions; new customs and societies; the spices and silks of the East; the precious gems, exotic vegetation, and wild beasts of faraway lands. Evoking a remote and long-vanished world with color and immediacy, Marco Polo’s book revolutionized Western ideas about the then-unknown East and remains one of the greatest travel accounts of all time. Nigel Cliff’s new translation, based on the original medieval sources, is a fresh, authoritative rendering, with a lively introduction and notes.
