The Story of Marco Polo is a historical book written by Noah Brooks and first published in 1897. The book narrates the adventures and travels of Marco Polo, a Venetian explorer who traveled to Asia in the 13th century. It provides a detailed account of Polo's journey to China, where he served as an emissary of Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Mongol Empire. The book describes Polo's encounters with exotic cultures, his observations of the customs and traditions of the people he met, and his experiences in the court of Kublai Khan. The book is divided into chapters that cover specific periods and locations of Polo's journey, including his travels through Persia, the Pamir Mountains, and the Gobi Desert. It also includes descriptions of the natural landscapes and geographical features of the regions he visited, such as the Silk Road and the Himalayas. Brooks' writing style is engaging and descriptive, and he draws on historical sources to provide a rich and detailed account of Polo's travels. The book also includes illustrations and maps that help to bring the story to life. Overall, The Story of Marco Polo is a fascinating and informative read that provides a window into the world of medieval Asia and the life of one of history's most famous explorers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
