Marco Polo: From Venice to Xanadu by Laurence Bergreen

4.0

I still amaze myself that I am so ignorant in different historic occurrences of the world. Marco Polo was more than a discoverer, more than a traveler. Marcos record miraculously survived the annuls of time to create an amazing adventure equaled by the fictitious Hobbit. His detailed evaluation of things never before seen helped me realize how Isaiah struggled to put in to words things he saw in our day restricted to his current knowledge and experiences. Marco was not appreciated when he returned, even imprisoned much like early astronomers who saw the universe in a more correct way.
