Sinossi
Marco Polo arriva in Oriente quando è solo un ragazzino, e ci resta per quasi vent'anni come ambasciatore. I Paesi che visita in questo arco di tempo appaiono ai suoi occhi come luoghi fantastici e mitici, così diversi dall'Europa a cui lui è abituato... Tradizioni curiose e abitudini insolite, al limite dell'incredibile, sono tutte raccontate in questo "diario" che, a distanza di secoli, ci trascina ancora in uno straordinario viaggio tra le sperdute terre del Gran Khan. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.

I loved it. He was lying most of the time about India, however... I mean, it's hot here in the tropics, but boiling eggs in the river? And dog-headed people?? But they were such colourful and entertaining lies. 😊
Travelling, clearly, came naturally to Marco Polo, as we all know Venice’s most famous son for his prowess as a traveller. He left his Venetian home in 1271 and travelled all the way to China and India, following the Silk Road that had not been much traversed by Westerners before. More than two deca Leggi tutto
