In the 13th Century, Mediterranean Europe was in a passionate ferment-restlessly reaching out for new lands, new achievements, new exploits. And Marco Polo was its brightest symbol of adventure. EM, in recreating this astonishing figure, has worked from life, choosing a real person to be his hero, scrupulously following the known facts of his career....Here is an intimate record of the hardships that beset him, the deadly hatred that pursued him, the passionate devotion that brought him triumphant to the palace of the Khan. Without question, Caravan to Xanadu is EM's finest novel, a stirring tale by a master storyteller.
