Classwork/ Homework People to KnowMarco Polo Marco Polo was a 13th-century trader who traveled from his home in Venice, Italy to the distant land of China. Marco Polo remained in China from 1275 until 1292. For seventeen years, Polo traveled, observed, and even worked for the great Mongol ruler Kublai Khan. Upon his return to Europe, Polo's observations were recorded in a book called Il milione. In this book, Marco Polo describes not only the land and people of China, but some interesting objects and technology. To medieval Europe, news of these people, places, and inventions seemed almost too fantastic to believe. Although some scholars are skeptical of Marco Polo's observations, Il milione offers historians a glimpse of life in 13th-century Mongol China.

Marco Polo and His
Travels Marco Polo (1254-1324), is probably the most famous
Westerner traveled on the Silk Road. He excelled all the other travelers in
his determination, his writing, and his influence. His journey through Asia
lasted 24 years. He reached further than any of his predecessors, beyond
Mongolia to China. He became a confidant of Kublai Khan (1214-1294). He
traveled the whole of China and returned to tell the tale, which became the
greatest travelogue. |
