The book by Marco Polo, one of the most famous travelers in the history of mankind, was published at the beginning of the 14th century. In it, the observant and practical Venetian shared with his contemporaries his own observations about the morals, government institutions and life of China - a country practically unknown in Europe at that time, in which Marco Polo spent 15 years while in the service of the famous Kublai Khan. From this book, many Europeans first learned about the countries of the East, their natural resources and technical achievements - paper money, the printing board, the sago palm, the compass and the bill, as well as coal and the location of the coveted spices. Written in a lively and clear language, “The Book” of Marco Polo became a reference book for many outstanding travelers of the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries. It was she who inspired Christopher Columbus to discover America. In the end, the search for ways to acquire spices bypassing the Arab trade monopoly led to the redistribution of the world and the disappearance of many blank spots on the map, and the book about the travels of Marco Polo became one of the few publications that influenced the course of world history. The publication is richly illustrated and is intended for everyone who is interested in overseas exoticism, but at the same time demands authenticity: the stories of Marco Polo, with all their incredibleness, are not a fairy tale, but reality.
