Marco Polo

Now in a handsome and newly revised hardcover edition: the extraordinary travelogue that has enthralled readers for more than seven centuries. Marco Polo’s vivid descriptions of the splendid cities and people he encountered on his journey along the Silk Road through the Middle East, South Asia, and China opened a window for his Western readers onto the fascinations of the East and continued to grow in popularity over the succeeding centuries. To a contemporary audience, his colorful stories—and above all, his breathtaking description of the court of the great Kublai Khan, Mongol emperor of China—offer dazzling portraits of worlds long gone. The classic Marsden and Wright translation of The Travels has been revised and updated by Peter Harris, with new notes, a bibliography, and an introduction by award-winning travel writer Colin Thubron.

"You will hear it for yourselves, and it will surely fill you with wonder..."In this selection from Marco Polo's famous travel book, the intrepid Venetian describes the customs of India, recounts the story of the king who died eighty-four times and explains how to retrieve diamonds from snake-infested caves...

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. A profound influence on medieval Europe's view of the wider world, this thirteenth-century account of a Venetian merchant's amazing experiences in the court of the great Mongol leader, Kubilai Khan, remains one of the most fascinating tales of exploration ever written.

As Marco Polo (1254-1324) returned home across the Indian Ocean, after years in the service of Genghis Khan, he picked up a fabulous array of stories from sailors and merchants, about the peoples of the region, some reliable, some wholly implausible, but all fascinating. "Great Journeys" allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries - but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, and multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.

À la fin du XIIIe siècle, l'Europe chrétienne se prépare à la grande plongée qui, de la perte de la Terre sainte et de la Peste noire au grand Schisme, la conduira vers la Renaissance. Le monde islamique subit l'attaque mongole. Le Califat, Byzance et le Saint Empire germanique vont sombrer. C'est à cette époque charnière que trois marchands vénitiens, Nicolo, Mafeo et Marco Polo sillonnent le monde. De 1250 à 1270, les deux aînés visitent Constantinople, la Russie et poussent à travers l'Asie centrale vers la Chine. À partir de 1271, Marco Polo se joint à eux. Ils traversent les hauts plateaux d'Anatolie, l'Iran, le Haut Afghanistan, le Pamir et le Turkestan chinois pour arriver à Pekin. Seize ans de séjour en Chine permettent à Marco Polo de parcourir une partie importante du pays. Le retour les conduira vers d'autres contrées : l'Indochine, Ceylan, les côtes indiennes. Et même des régions jusqu'alors non visitées comme les côtes de l'Arabie, l'Éthiopie et le littoral africain jusqu'à Zanzibar seront fidèlement décrites à travers les témoignages recueillis. Le livre de Marco Polo se présente non seulement comme une géographie complète de son temps mais comme un témoignage unique qui étale aux yeux de l'Europe en crise les incomparables richesses et le degré de civilisation de l'Asie. Marco Polo clôt l'ère des géographes du légendaire pour ouvrir celle des précurseurs des explorateurs et des colonisateurs des temps modernes.

Venedikli Marco Polo (1254-1324), on üçüncü yüzyıl ortalarında Batı'nın hiç denecek kadar az tanıdığı Asya'ya serüvenli bir yolculuk yaptı. Adım adım ipek yolunu izleyerek Büyük Kağan Kubilay Han'ın başkenti Hanbalık'a (bugünkü Pekin) ulaştı. Kısa zamanda Han'ın güvenini kazanmayı başardı ve gönderildiği görevler ve elçilikler sırasında Çin'in ve Hindistan'ın büyük bir bölümünü tanıma fırsatını buldu. 25 yıl süren bu geziden dönüşünde bir savaşta Cenevizlilere tutsak düştü. Tutsak kaldığı dört yıl içinde gezi notlarına dayanarak hücre arkadaşı Rusticano'ya bu kitabı yazdırdı. Geniş ilgi gören kitabı Kristof Kolomb da okudu ve elindeki nüshanın üzerine notlar yazdı. 1492'de gemilerinin burnunu Batıya çevirdiği zaman amacı Marco Polo'nun söz ettiği ülkelere ulaşmaktı. Yeni Çağ'ı muştulayan ve çağdaş okuyucunun da zevk ve merakla okuyabileceği bir biçimde yazılmış olan bu önemli yapıtın ayrıca, ipek yolu, Türklerin anayurdu, Orta Asya'da yaşayan Türkler konularında pek çok bilgiyi içermesi bakımından Türk okuyucu için özel bir yeri ve önemi de var.

El gran clàssic medieval de la literatura de viatges.Fill d'una família de mercaders venecians, Marco Polo va deixar Europa amb el seu pare i el seu oncle el 1271 per iniciar un viatge meravellós per la famosa ruta de la seda fins a la Xina, governada pel gran emperador mongol Kublai Khan. Després d'un periple de vint-i-quatre anys per tot el continent asiàtic, va tornar a casa i va posar per escrit les seves aventures, que reflecteixen l'exotisme fabulós d'un Orient encara desconegut i gairebé irreal. El resultat fou el seu llibre La descripció del món, més conegut popularment com a El llibre de les meravelles, que va deixar embadalits els seus oients i lectors. Les seves descripcions van aconseguir arrelar en l'imaginari europeu amb una força que, després de set segles, ha perdurat fins als nostres dies.

Marco polo is an adventure and action packed thriller novel. Marco Polo was an Italian merchant who traveled through Asia and became the first European to write a detailed book on his exciting, thrilling tales of experiences in China. The journey of Marco Polo also inspired Christopher Columbus and many other travelers.

Marco Polo, kupiec wenecki, wyrusza na Wschód na początku lat siedemdziesiątych XIII wieku. Towarzyszy swemu ojcu oraz stryjowi, którym przyświecają ważne cele papież Grzegorz X wysłał ich do władcy Chin, Kubilaja. Podróż do Państwa Środka trwa trzy lata. Przybysze bardzo przypadają do serca wielkiemu chanowi i stara się on w pełni wykorzystać ich odwagę i uzdolnienia. Marco Polo jest przez niego wielokrotnie posyłany w misjach dyplomatycznych do różnych prowincji Chin, a nawet do Indii. W trakcie wojaży poznaje także Azję Mniejszą, Persję, Półwysep Indochiński i Indonezję. Po ponad dwudziestu latach nieobecności trzej wenecjanie nie bez kłopotów powracają do domu. Niedługo później Marco Polo trafia do genueńskiej niewoli. W więzieniu poznaje Rustycjana z Pizy, twórcę romansów rycerskich. Ten spisuje opowieści Marca, prawdopodobnie korzystając także z jego zapisków. Wydane drukiem Il Millione spotyka się z niedowierzaniem, a jego bohater zostaje okrzyknięty kłamcą. Już wkrótce jednak Opisanie świata czytać będą królowie, książęta, dostojnicy kościelni, uczeni i podróżnicy. Marco Polo nie dożył jednak chwili triumfu. Tł Anna Ludwika Czerny

Orijinal The Travels of Marco Polo Çevirmen : Elif Berktas Italyan gezgin Marco Polo’nun 1271’de Venedik’ten baslayan seyahatleri; Ipek Yolu’nu izleyerek Orta Dogu, Ermenistan, Gürcistan, Anadolu ve Iran üzerinden Türkistan, Hindistan ve Çin’e kadar uzanir. Geçtigi tüm yerlesim yerlerindeki cografi yapi, hayvanlar, bitkiler, gelenekler, din, ticari hayat, degerli madenler, giyim-kusam, dil ve yemek kültürü hakkinda bilgiler vermis, anlatimini yer yer olaganüstü olaylarla süslemistir. Kubilay Han’in egemenligi altindaki topraklara ulastiklarinda; dünyanin belki de en güzel, en refah, en adil, en zengin memleketine geldigini hisseder. Kubilay Han’la tanisma ve onun hizmetine girme serefine de ulasan Marco Polo sayesinde Bati, o tarihe kadar fikir sahibi olmadigi Uzak Dogu’yu tanima firsati bulmus; Endonezya, Pamir ve Japonya gibi ülkeleri de ilk kez duymustur. Kâgit para, kömür ve petrol, ilk kez gördügü için Marco Polo’ya çok tuhaf gelir; altin, ipek, porselen, inci, yakut gibi lüks mallarin kalitesi ve çoklugu da sasirtir. Onu oldugu kadar, okurken bizi de hayrete düsüren bir baska sey ise, hiçbir hükümdarin ya da gezginin gitmedigi adalarda, çig hayvan hatta insan eti yiyen, tuhaf geleneklere sahip vahsi insanlarin olmasidir. 1295’te Venedik’e döndükten sonra katildigi bir seferde Cenevizlilere esir düsen Marco Polo, cezaevinde kaldigi dört yil içinde hücre arkadasi Rustichello’ya Dünya’nin Harikalar Kitabi diye adlandirdigi bu kitabi yazdirmistir. Kristof Kolomb dahil pek çok gezgin, onun yazdiklarindan ilham alarak seyahatler yapmistir.
