“The Tartars are of all men, the best able to endure exertion
and hardship… They will go for a whole month without
provisions and can ride a good ten days’ journey without
making a fire, living only on the blood of their horses.”
– Marco Polo

"It was the best-documented journey of its time, inspiring the imaginations and ambitions of countless adventurers, including Christopher Columbus. Now we, too, can follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo, with guides as vividly exciting and engaging as Marco himself. With both their film and this book Denis and Francis have recreated what Joseph Campbell would have applauded as 'The Hero's Journey.' Come take it yourself and you'll never turn back."
