This book is deep. Like seriously seriously deep. And beautiful. Like seriously seriously beautiful. I wish I would have read it along with a class or for some other reason so that I would have had context for it. Loved imagining the cities. Very fantastical.

this book was so dense but the prose was beautiful i really wanted to love this book but it was a but of a slog when marco poli described some of the cities, while other descriptions were brilliant i loved the interactions between marco polo and kublai khan

An absolutely lovely book. I don't think the English translation does it justice. This is the book that made me fall in love with Calvino. Some of the cities are more engaging than others, but I loved it just the same.
