About the Author
----------------
Marco Polo was the original, trailblazing tourist. He was born
into a wealthy Venetian merchant family in 1254 and at the age of
17 he embarked on an epic journey to Asia, as one of the first
westerners to ever visit China. When he returned 24 years later
he recorded his extensive travels in a book - publishing possibly
the first travel guide ever - and introducing Europeans to
Central Asia and China. Marco Polo's travels have since inspired
countless adventurers to set off and see the world. Allegedly,
Christopher Columbus set off across the Atlantic with a copy of
Marco Polo's original book! It is this pioneering spirit that
drives us at Marco Polo Travel Publishing to provide you with the
best guides, s and atlases possible - to inspire you to set
off on your own adventures and help you travel the world. We
