"Brilliant and utterly readable . . . Reads much like an adventure story that offers fine access to this highly detailed subject." --Library Journal on The Terra Cotta Army, "John Man's engaging and diverting study of the historical Xanadu renders the truths as beguiling as the mythology . . . with a combination of travel writing, historical analysis and anecdote, Man uses Xanadu almost as a keyhole through which to describe larger events." --Scotland on Sunday, "Deploying the same lively style that attracted readers to his Genghis Kahn, Man transforms a forbidding barrier into an inviting passageway into Asian culture." — Booklist on The Great Wall, "An in-the-footsteps-of-Marco-Polo journey through Europe to China which really makes you feel you are wearing Polo's threadbare, sweat-stained slippers as you go." -- The Scotsman "John Man's engaging and diverting study of the historical Xanadu renders the truths as beguiling as the mythology... with a combination of travel writing, historical analysis and anecdote, Man uses Xanadu almost as a keyhole through which to describe larger events." --Scotland on Sunday "An engaging piece of storytelling and a very companionable journey of exploration." --Guardian, I have read everything written on Marco Polo, and John Man's Xanadu is, by far, my favorite book on the subject. It's not only an over-due and important historical study, it's an entertaining ride every step of the way. As a researcher, John Man not only puts himself on the very ground that Marco traversed, he takes us with him on the epic journey., "An in-the-footsteps-of-Marco-Polo journey through Europe to China which really makes you feel you are wearing Polo's threadbare, sweat-stained slippers as you go." --The Scotsman "John Man's engaging and diverting study of the historical Xanadu renders the truths as beguiling as the mythology... with a combination of travel writing, historical analysis and anecdote, Man uses Xanadu almost as a keyhole through which to describe larger events." --Scotland on Sunday "An engaging piece of storytelling and a very companionable journey of exploration." --Guardian, "Deploying the same lively style that attracted readers to his Genghis Kahn, Man transforms a forbidding barrier into an inviting passageway into Asian culture." -- Booklist on The Great Wall, "John Man's engaging and diverting study of the historical Xanadu renders the truths as beguiling as the mythology . . . with a combination of travel writing, historical analysis and anecdote, Man uses Xanadu almost as a keyhole through which to describe larger events." —Scotland on Sunday, "Deploying the same lively style that attracted readers to his Genghis Kahn, Man transforms a forbidding barrier into an inviting passageway into Asian culture." -- Booklist on The Great Wall, "John Man's engaging and diverting study of the historical Xanadu renders the truths as beguiling as the mythology . . . with a combination of travel writing, historical analysis and anecdote, Man uses Xanadu almost as a keyhole through which to describe larger events." --Scotland on Sunday, "Brilliant and utterly readable . . .
