This is perhaps the longest and most remarkable journey ever undertaken. Marco Polo set out from Venice in 1271 and wandered into the unknown East as far as Cathay. When he returned twenty-five years later he told such a tale - of the vast empire and dazzling court of Kublai Khan, of terrible deserts and great mountain ranges, of yogis and pearl divers and cannibals, of men who offered their wives to visitors, of the Old Man of the Mountain with his hashish-drugged \"Assassins,\" of stones that burned and streams of jade - that few believed him.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39860926971991,"sku":"7859194","price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243368_jpg.jpg?v=1658917996","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-travels-of-marco-polo-1961-first-edition","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
