Chances are you’ll be conversant in the identify of Marco Polo – the Thirteenth-century Venetian service provider who travelled alongside the Silk Highway, journeyed by Asia and hung out on the courtroom of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Famously, he documented his experiences in an in depth account that has impressed many travellers since. Emily Briffett and Sharon Kinoshita observe in Polo’s footsteps, exploring the medieval world by his eyes.
Sharon Kinoshita is the creator of Marco Polo and His World (Reaktion Books, 2024).
