Title: Just fiction..a historical fantasy
Product review: A masterful use of events occuring in history. What is however disconcerting is the character & tradition demolition of certain ethnic groups through his fictional character of Marco Polo in the book. He has distorted the customs, traditions & habits of people that Marco Polo supposedly met in his journeys. Strangely, this even contradicts what Marco Polo wrote about the same people or nations in his original Franco-Genovese narrative "The Description of the World". True, history is written by the survivors, & also true, fiction takes creative license to weave more romantic & readable stories to make history go down easier.. thats what the book is meant to be..just fiction..if you want to really read about Marco Polo , go somewhere else.
