Summary "I Viaggi di Marco Polo" by Marco Polo and Jules Verne is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Marco Polo and his journeys through Asia, focusing on his experiences and interactions with various cultures and peoples as he travels to the court of Kublai Khan. This work blends the historical adventures of Marco Polo with the imaginative storytelling style of Jules Verne, exploring themes of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. At the start of the narrative, the background of the Polo family's mercantile interests is established, showing their motivations for exploring Central Asia. It introduces Marco Polo as a young man preparing to embark on significant journeys with his father, Niccolò, and his uncle, Matteo, who have already visited Kublai Khan. The chapter discusses the conditions that propelled Venetian merchants to venture into territories offering lucrative trade opportunities, highlighting their journeys from Venice to the Mongol Empire. This opening lays the foundation for the epic adventures that will follow, setting the stage for Polo's experiences and the rich tapestry of the world he encounters.
