Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents three ancient accounts of journeys to Western Asia from China in the 13th century, during a time when eastern Mongolia was connected with Persia and Russia by great highways. These thoroughfares, established by Genghis Khan, presented significant travel challenges. The narratives of these journeys, originally found separately within various historical works and reprints from the Yuan Dynasty, were translated from ancient Chinese and are accompanied by annotations to enable Western readers to understand the context of the accounts. The author, an expert in Chinese literature, provides thorough explanations and historical references, making this book a valuable resource for scholars and those interested in the history of medieval exploration and the geography of ancient Asia.
