«Viajes» is Marco Polo's travel account, published by Austral in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Marco Polo narrates here the long journey he made through Asia, which allowed him to encounter distant cultures, cities and imperial courts very different from the Europe of his time. His observations of the peoples, customs and lands of the East form a testimony of adventures and discoveries that marked history.
The translation is by María de Cardona and Suzanne Dobelmann. The original title of the work is «Il milione». This edition belongs to the Austral collection.
A classic of travel literature for those who enjoy medieval chronicles and stories of explorers.
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.
