Marco Polos resor

Marco Polos klassiska reseskildring har gjort honom till en av tidernas stora resenärer. Med avfärd 1271 tog sig den unge venetianaren, tillsammans med far och farbror, över Asiens väldiga landmassa ända till Kina, kom i mongolhärskarens tjänst och återvände inte till sitt hemland förrän 1295 – där det hände sig att han togs som krigsfånge av det rivaliserande Genua. Och det var där, i fångenskapen, som hans stora verk skulle födas, ty som medfånge hade han fått en viss Rustichello, flitig författare av äventyrsromaner, vilken tillsammans med Marco och hans anteckningar skulle sammanställa boken om hans resor, och därmed revolutionera det medeltida Europas kunskap om Östern. Från Venedig till Främre Asien, över Sidenvägen runt Asiens bergmassiv till Kina och dess många städer, ner genom Indiska oceanens övärld och sedan västerut till Malabar och Arabien; steg för steg och plats för plats färdas vi genom världen såsom den var på 1200-talet, och med den encyklopediske Marco som guide möter vi underliga djur, lokala sägner, förtrollade sandstormar och besynnerliga, stundom skrämmande seder och bruk. Att följa med på denna resa är en upplevelse som läsare har njutit av i över 700 år. Boken presenteras här i Bengt Thordemans klassiska översättning med ett nyskrivet förord av Dick Harrison. ”Marco Polos stora Resor (1295) är lätt att komma över och borde stå i allas bokhyllor.” – C. S. Lewis, ur Den förkastade bilden: en introduktion till medeltidens och renässansens litteratur ”En av den europeiska litteraturens mest ryktbara klassiker.” – Dick Harrison, ur förordet till denna nyutgåva. ”Marco Polos skildring av sina upplevelser under resorna till och från Kina och under vistelsen där, är i sin anspråkslösa litterära form så fängslande att vi än i dag efter snart sjuhundra år kan avnjuta den som en spännande lektyr.” – Bengt Thordeman, ur inledningen till denna översättning.

From the dazzling courts of Kublai Khan to the perilous deserts of Persia, no book contains a richer magazine of marvels than the Travels.

The Book of Ser Marco Polo, the Venetian is a nineteenth-century edition of the famous travelogue written by Rustichello da Pisa and Marco Polo, describing the travels of the latter through Asia, Persia, China and Indonesia between 1271 and 1291. The book secured lasting fame for its editor, the prominent geographer and literary scholar Henry Yule, who was awarded the founder's medal of the Royal Geographical Society for his efforts. The two-volume work, the result of Yule's research in Palermo, Venice, Florence, Paris and London and of extensive correspondence with scholars around the world, has long been considered an authoritative source on Polo's travels. Volume I contains Books One and Two of the travelogue and contains descriptions of the lands of the Middle East and Central Asia that Polo encountered en route to China. Book II covers Polo's time in China and the court of Kublai Khan.

Marco Polo (September 15, 1254 - January 9, 1324) was a Venetian merchant traveler whose travels are recorded in Il Milione ("The Millions", now known as "The Travels of Marco Polo"), a book which did much to introduce Europeans to Central Asia and China. He learned about trading whilst his father and uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo, travelled through Asia and apparently met Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned, and dictated his stories to a cellmate. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married and had three children. He died in 1324, and was buried in San Lorenzo.
