Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Challenging the widely accepted narrative of Marco Polo's travels, Frances Wood presents a compelling argument that he may never have reached China, possibly not even beyond the Black Sea. Through a thorough examination of Polo's family history, merchant activities, and his famous book, A Description of the World, Wood highlights significant omissions in Polo's accounts, such as the absence of tea and the Great Wall. This exploration not only questions the authenticity of Polo's experiences but also offers insights into medieval European and Chinese history, igniting debate about this enduring myth.
