Marco Polo (ca. 1254-1324) stammte aus Venedig und bereiste mit Vater und Onkel den Orient. Die älteren Polos hatten vom mongolischen Großkhan den Auftrag erhalten, eine Botschaft des Papstes sowie Öl aus der Grabeskirche nach Peking zu bringen. Ihre Reise führte sie von Palästina (Akko, Jerusalem) über Stationen in Persien (Isfahan, Kerman) und die Seidenstraße (Samarkand) bis nach China und Japan. Polo berichtet so Wundersames, dass mancher Kritikus auf die Idee kam, die Reise habe nie (oder nicht so) stattgefunden. Marco Polos Ruhm hat das bis heute nicht geschadet.Marco Polo, geboren vermutlich 1254 in Venedig und verstorben 1324, ebenfalls in Venedig, war ein Händler, der wegen der Berichte über eine mehrjährige China-Reise Bekanntheit erlangte. Von diesem Bericht existieren heute noch etwa 150 Handschriften.

Marco Polo was the most famous traveller of his time. His voyages began in 1271 with a visit to China, after which he served the Kubilai Khan on numerous diplomatic missions. On his return to the West, he was made a prisoner of war and met Rustichello of Pisa, with whom he collaborated on this book. The accounts of his travels provide a fascinating glimpse of the different societies he encountered: their religions, customs, ceremonies and way of life; on the spices and silks of the East; on precious gems, exotic vegetation and wild beasts. He tells the story of the holy shoemaker, the wicked caliph and the three kings, among a great many others, evoking a remote and long-vanished world with colour and immediacy.He found himself traversing the most exotic lands-from the dazzling Mongol empire to Tibet and Burma. This fascinating chronicle still serves as the most vivid depiction of the mysterious East in the Middle Ages.
