His subsequent account of his travels offers a fascinating glimpse of what he encountered abroad: unfamiliar religions, customs and societies; the spices and silks of the east; the precious gems, exotic vegetation and wild beasts of faraway lands. Evoking a remote and long-vanished world with colour and immediacy, Marco's book revolutionized western ideas about the then unknown east and is still one of the greatest travel accounts of all time.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48150343123102,"sku":"UBD-9780141198774","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141198774.jpg?v=1786964392","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141198774","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
