Imprisoned in Genoa five years later, he collaborated with Arthurian romance writer Rustichello of Pisa on a work they called The Description of the World. Their book recounted ‘all the greatest marvels and great diversities of Greater Armenia, Persia, the Tartars, India, and many other provinces’. In Marco Polo and His World Sharon Kinoshita brings these marvels to life, describing the rich commodities, plants, people and animals that Marco encountered and recorded. Copiously illustrated, and ranging from Venice, Genoa and Pisa to Khanbaliq, Quinsai and Zaytun, this is a vivid account of Marco Polo’s astounding adventures.
