«Els viatges de Marco Polo» is the travel account of Marco Polo in a version by Salvador Vendrell and Francesc Capellino, in paperback (Edicions Bromera).
In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo travels with his father to the court of the great Khan in China and for twenty-four years traverses the Asian continent, almost unknown to feudal Europe. He dictates his memories to Rustichello di Pisa and the text, known as the Book of Marvels, describes the cultures, landscapes and riches of those territories.

For young people and adults from 14 years old, especially readers interested in medieval history and travel accounts.
Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His travels are recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo, a book that described the then-mysterious culture and inner workings of the Eastern world, including the wealth and great size of the Mongol Empire and China under the Yuan dynasty, giving Europeans their first comprehensive look into China, Persia, India, Japan, and other Asian societies.
