About this listen

The Travels of Marco Polo is the classic account of Marco Polo's journey to China from Venice, and his discoveries as an emissary to the great Kublai Khan. Polo explores everywhere from Baghdad, Armenia and Russia to the Caspian Sea, the Gobi Desert and the small fishing villages of China, describing the geography, architecture and customs of these exotic places. He tells stories of assassins, cannibals, fantastical animals, feasts and battles, and gives a fascinating account of the multicultural empire of Kublai Khan. The Travels is said to have inspired the voyages of Magellan and Columbus, the latter having kept an annotated copy among his belongings. It remains one of the most entertaining travelogues in existence.

Enjoyed this a lot. Kind of reminds me of Herodatus and Pepys. Worth listening to.

Firstly I'd like to say that this was very easy and clear to follow so no complaints there. I wanted to listen to this as I've listened to various other travel history auido books that refer to marco polo. I appreciate that this is going off information from 100s of years ago but from a listeners point of view I found this very boring and vague and I didn't end up finishing it. wouldn't recommend downloading unless it's free then you have nothing to loose.
