Where it came from
The Travels of Marco Polo documents the Venetian merchant's extensive journeys through Asia during the late 13th century. Originally dictated to Rustichello da Pisa while Polo was imprisoned in Genoa, the manuscript served as one of the first windows into the cultures, trade routes, and governance of the Mongol Empire for medieval European audiences.
The Modern Library edition published in the mid-20th century, which often drew from various classic translations including William Marsden's, aimed to bring this foundational piece of travel literature to a broader, modern readership. As part of the publisher's long-standing mission to provide accessible, affordable, and durable editions of essential world classics, this release focused on presenting the narrative in a format suitable for both academic study and personal libraries.
