註釋

In 1295, three tired travelers returned home to Venice, Italy, wearing tattered, old clothes. The three men -- Marco Polo; his father, Niccolo; and his uncle, Maffeo -- had just completed a journey that had taken twenty-four years and covered almost fifteen thousand miles. The Polos had traveled to China and lived in the court of the legendary Kublai Khan, the powerful Mongol emperor who ruled China. In The Great Empire of China and Marco Polo in World History, follow along as author Richard Worth takes a tour of China through the travels of Marco Polo. Also addressed are arguments that the journey may have been fictionalized or exaggerated. Regardless of whether or not his tale is completely true, one thing is clear -- Marco Polo's book A Description of the World had an immense effect on European expansion. Book jacket.
