Synopsis:
Tim Severin's travel narrative describes the people, places, things, he experiences along the route once traveled by Marco Polo.
From School Library Journal:
YA Severin, 20, and two companions set out to visit the same countryside that Marco Polo had described 700 years earlier, hoping to verify his observations. This account of their mishaps and sheer fun should fascinate high-school students. On two motorcycles equipped with side cars, they retrace Polo's overland journey from Venice across Turkey, Persia, and Afghanistan, surviving crashes, sandstorms and floods, language problems, jail stays, and exotic foods. With his broken foot in a cast, Tim rides a camel through the Deh Bakri Pass with guides whom he comes to suspect are drug smugglers, and he tastes ``apples of paradise.'' Through this exciting travelogue, readers will come to know the people, the land, and the history as well as the three adventurers, all of whom are now Oxford graduates and professional writers. Lee Kobayashi, St. Francis Day School, Houston
