China Editorial Review
"Marco Polo: The Journey that Changed the World" by John Man provides an interesting and comprehensive look into the life and travels of Marco Polo. The book is a mix of a travel log and history, offering readers a starting point to explore Polo's journeys. Man does an excellent job of synthesizing the conflicting information about Polo's travels and addresses modern rumors surrounding his journey. The author visits many Marco Polo sites throughout the narrative, making it particularly engaging for travel enthusiasts. The book also includes excellent maps, descriptions, and picture inserts of the places Marco Polo visited. However, some readers may have expected more maps or illustrations. Despite claims that Polo's historical story is inaccurate, this book provides depth of research, along with quotes from original texts and other sources. It sheds light on what parts of Marco Polo's book can be Considered real or close to reality, and what was later proved erroneous or false. Overall, "Marco Polo: The Journey that Changed the World" is an enjoyable and informative read for adults interested in the history of travel and the Silk Road.
