«Los viajes de Marco Polo» is Marco Polo's travel account, published by Susaeta in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Marco Polo recounts his journey to the court of the Mongol emperor Kublai Khan and the decades he spent in his service, travelling from Peking to northern India. The book describes lands and customs almost unknown in medieval Europe and closes with the return by sea from China to the Persian Gulf.
The original account, also known as «Il Milione», dates from 1298; this Spanish-language edition was published in 1999 and falls into the children's and young adult category.
Aimed at young readers interested in travel, history and great explorations.
Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His travels are recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo, a book that described the then-mysterious culture and inner workings of the Eastern world, including the wealth and great size of the Mongol Empire and China under the Yuan dynasty, giving Europeans their first comprehensive look into China, Persia, India, Japan, and other Asian societies.
