As often happens with outstanding people, Marco Polo, the son of a Venetian merchant and traveler, was not noticed by his contemporaries. In truth, we would hardly have known about him if not for his book, which became one of the most famous in the world. Since humanity realized Marco’s feat, fierce debate has flared up among scientists about his personality and work. Literally everything is questioned: the title of the book, the authenticity of events and the authorship itself. Researcher Jacques Erc presents us with his carefully verified concept, providing strong evidence in defense of his hypotheses. The book of the French scientist has a happy property: the further the author goes deeper into the historical analysis of events and facts, the more alive and closer the hero becomes - the good Christian Marco Polo, a romantic merchant, passionately in love with the world with its endless diversity. The book will arouse the interest of a wide range of readers.
