Venetian Adventurer is a biographical account of the life and times of Marco Polo, the famous Venetian explorer and author of the travelogue The Travels of Marco Polo. The book is written by Henry H. Hart and provides a comprehensive overview of Polo's life, from his birth in Venice in 1254 to his travels to the Far East and his eventual return to Europe. The book explores Polo's experiences in China, Mongolia, and other parts of Asia, as well as his interactions with other explorers, merchants, and rulers. Hart also delves into the historical context of Polo's travels, including the political and economic climate of the time, and the impact of his writings on European perceptions of Asia. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the life and work of Marco Polo, as well as the history of exploration and trade in the medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
