Marco Polo(ISBN=9781400078806) rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

As the first European to travel extensively throughout Asia,

Marco Polo was the earliest bridge between East and West. His

famous journeys took him across the boundaries of the known world,

along the dangerous Silk Road, and into the court of Kublai Kahn,

where he won the trust of the most feared and reviled leader of his

day. Polo introduced the cultural riches of China to Europe,

spawning centuries of Western fascination with Asia.

In this lively blend of history, biography, and travelogue,

acclaimed author Laurence Bergreen separates myth from history,

creating the most authoritative account yet of Polo's remarkable

adventures. Exceptionally narrated and written with a discerning

eye for detail, Marco Polo is as riveting as the life it

describes.
