«Marco Polo: El viajero inaccesible» is the biography of the Venetian traveler written by Antonio de Miguel Gil, published by Dastin Export S.L. in hardcover.
In 1271, at seventeen, Marco Polo set out with his father and uncle for the court of Kublai Khan. The journey lasted twenty-six years; on his return, imprisoned in Genoa, he dictated The Book of Marvels to Rustichello of Pisa. His contemporaries took it for fiction, but the work spurred Columbus to seek Cathay.
