Description

Explore the long-standing debates surrounding one of history's most famous travelogues. Marco Polo's China: A Venetian in the Realm of Khubilai Khan provides a deep look into the writings that have sparked intense scholarly discussion since 1298. This volume, part of the Routledge Studies in the Early History of Asia, addresses the controversies regarding Marco Polo's travels. Recent academic work has questioned whether Marco Polo ever actually reached China. Scholars often point to specific omissions and errors in his accounts, such as the lack of mention of the Great Wall or his description of the Yellow River's course. This book examines these arguments, looking past the negative focus on what he might have missed to re-examine his original writings. It is an essential read for anyone interested in historical biography, the Silk Road, and the complexities of early Asian history.
