Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu by Laurence Bergreen

5.0

Excellent book that goes through Marco Polo's life and travels and brings in what is known from other sources to corraborate certain bits or to point out what is likely Robocellis (I listened to this one, idk how to spell anything) fanciful elaboration (he was a romance writer, afterall). Before this book I was under the impression that Polo had made most of it up (based on what i've heard about him, not from his writings themselves) but this book makes a great case that actually, the falsifications and elaborations were definitely in the minority!
