  The Travels of Ibn Battutah  - Ibn Battuta
Ibn Battutah was just 21 when he set out in 1325 from his native Tangier on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He did not return to Morocco for another 29 years, travelling instead through more than 40 countries on the modern map, covering 75,000 miles and getting as far north as the Volga, as far east as China and as far south as Tanzania. He wrote of his travels, and comes across as a superb ethnographer, biographer, anecdotal historian and occasional botanist and gastronome.

  The Travels of Marco Polo  
Marco Polo, Benjamin Colbert (Introduction), W. Marsden (Translator), T. Wright (Translator)
This work recounts Marco Polo's journey to the eastern court of Kublai Khan, the chieftan of the Mongol empire which traverses the Asian continent, but which was virtually unknown to Polo's contemporaries. It encompasses a 24-year period starting in 1271, detailing his travels.
Paperback 320 pages (August 1997); Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Ltd.; Language: English; ISBN: 1853264733
  The Travels of Sir John Mandeville  
Sir John Mandeville, C. Moseley (Translator)
Ostensibly written by an English knight, the Travels purport to relate his experiences in the Holy Land, Egypt, India and China. Mandeville claims to have served in the Great Khan's army, and to have travelled in the lands beyond' countries populated by dog-headed men, cannibals, Amazons and Pygmies. Although Marco Polo's slightly earlier narrative ultimately proved more factually accurate, Mandeville's was widely known, used by Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci and Martin Frobisher, and inspiring writers as diverse as Swift, Defoe and Coleridge. This intriguing blend of fact, exaggeration and absurdity offers both fascinating insight into and subtle criticism of fourteenth-century conceptions of the world.
Paperback 208 pages (March 31, 2005); Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.; Language: English; ISBN: 0141441437
