Description

Renowned trader and explorer Marco Polo was nicknamed "Marco of the thousands or even outright lies," since his Venetian countrymen required the stories of his journeys to be overstated. As he lay dying, his family, priest, and friends provided him a last opportunity to admit his mendacity, and Marco, it's stated, responded, "I've not told the 1 / 2 of what I did and saw." Today H Jennings has thought the daring than Polois tall-tales and half as much more sophisticated left unsaid. In the back-streets and palazzi of ancient Venice for the luxurious court of Kublai Khan, Marco endures all manner of risk, fulfills all manner of individuals, and becomes an almost obsessive collector of customs, ladies, and dialects.
