Marco Polo in Chinais about the famous
Italian Marco Polo, who came a long way to China in the 13th century and spent
17 years travelling, doing surveys and managing local affairs in China. After
he went back to Italy, he made an oral narrative of his travels, which wasThe Travels of Marco Polo, the
first book that introduced the East to the Westerners. The travelogue whetted
the Europeans’ appetite for the East and exerted a huge influence on the
opening of the new route. The adventures of Marco Polo are legendary and
compelling.
