Marco Polo, The Travels (Penguin classic)

Marco Polo probably travelled more extensively than any man before him, and the record of his journeys is one of the world's most remarkable books.
In 1271 he accompanied his father and uncle on their second visit to China, where he spent many years in the service of Kubilai Khan. He was sent on numerous imperial missions before being allowed to return home to Venice in 1295.

In The Travels he described an area from the Polar Sea to Java and from Zanzibar to Japan, and in so doing revealed a world almost wholly unknown to western Christendom.
