1927. Generally agreed to be one of the most significant forces in the history of the American theater, O'Neill is a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. O'Neill writes in the foreword that Marco Millions is an attempt to render poetic justice to one long famous as a traveler, unjustly world-renowned as a liar, but sadly unrecognized by posterity in his true eminence as a man and a citizen-Marco Polo of Venice. The failure to appraise Polo at a fair valuation is his own fault...Even in his native Venice, he was scoffingly nicknamed the millionaire or Marco Millions...This has moved me to an indignant crusade between the lines of this book, the bars of his prison, in order to whitewash the good soul of that maligned Venetian.
