Excerpt from The Story of Marco Polo In this little book the author and compiler has endeavoured to give a connected account of the travels of Marco Polo for the entertainment and instruction of young readers, with the hope that maturer minds may find therein a comprehensive and intelligible summary of the most valuable and trustworthy parts of the said book. As far as possible he has allowed the traveller to speak for himself, refraining from that fashion of condensation, which suppresses the original author and gives the reader only a narration which has been coloured by its passage through the mind of an editor. In his comments on the text of. Marco Polo, the author has made use of the erudite notes of Colonel Henry Yule, c.b., whose admirable trans lation of The Book of Ser Marco Polo, the Venetian (john Murray, London, 1871) has been.

Excerpt from Messer Marco Polo The message came to me, at the second check of the hunt, that a countryman and a clansman needed me. The ground was heavy, the day raw, and it was a drag, too fast for fun and too tame for sport. So I blessed the countryman and the clansman, and turned my back on the field. But when they told me his name, I all but fell from the saddle. "But that man's dead!" But he wasn't dead. He was in New York. He was traveling from the craigs of Ulster to his grandson, who had an orange-grove on the Indian River, in Florida. He wasn't dead.

Excerpt from The Most Noble and Famous Travels of Marco Polo: Together With the Travels of Nicolò De'conti In the first place, its value to students of Elizabethan literature is self evident.

Excerpt from Ser Marco Polo: Notes and Addenda to Sir Henry Yule's Edition, Containing the Results of Recent Research and Discovery There is no need of a long Preface to this small book. When the third edition of they of Ser Marco Polo was published in 1903, criticism was lenient to the Editor of Yule's grand work, and it was highly satisfactory to me that such competent judges as Sir Aurel Stein and Sven Hedin gave their approval to the remarks I made on the itineraries followed in Central Asia by the celebrated Venetian Traveller. Nevertheless occasional remarks having been made by some of the reviewers, proper notice was taken of them; moreover, it was impossible to avoid some mistakes and omissions in a work including several hundreds of pages. As years went on, extensive voyages were undertaken by travellers like Sir Aurel Stein, Sven Hedin, Pelliot, Kozlov, and others, who brought fresh and important information. I had myself collected material from new works as they were issued and from old works which had been neglected. In the mean time I had given a second edition of Cathay and the Way Thither, having thus an opportunity to explore old ground again and add new commentaries to the book. All this material is embodied in the present volume which is to be considered but as a supplementary volume of "Addenda" and "Corrigenda" to the Book itself. I have gathered matter for a younger editor when a fourth edition of the Book of Ser Marco Polo is undertaken, age preventing the present editor to entertain the hope to be able to do the work himself. To many who lent their aid have I to give my thanks: all are named in the following pages, but I have special obligation to Sir Aurel Stein, to Dr. B. Laufer, of Chicago, to Sir Richard Temple, and to Prof. Paul Pelliot, of the College de France, Paris, who furnished me with some of the more important notes. A paper by Prof. E. H. Parker in the Asiatic Quarterly Review proved also of considerable help. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Travels of Marco Polo, the Venetian by none other than Marco Polo himself is an unforgettable read, recommended for lovers of adventure, travel, philosophy and, of course, history. This detailed account of Marco Polo's journeys taken during the 13th century is rife not just with historically significant data (particularly on subjects such as inter-religious politics) but with real-life tales of valiant heroes, epic battles and mysteries bordering on the fantastic - If some of the facts were embellished somewhat in Polo's recounting then this is perfectly understandable and, for the most part, well pleasing. There are few in the modern world who have not heard of this historical giant and his contributions to society. Reading The Travels of Marco Polo is the perfect way to better understand and appreciate these contributions and in doing so come comprehend some of the events and figures that influenced the world to be what it is today. A four star read, the fifth has only been omitted due to Marco Polo's less than tolerant views of none-Christian religious bodies; a telling but unfortunate reflection of the Christian view of Polo's time.
