Odd little novel, which presents the life of Marco Polo as a story told by an Irish bard. The Polo material has more to do with Coleridge's poem than history and creates a romance between Marco Polo and Kubla Khan's daughter. Does not stand up well. ( ) 3090. Messer Marco Polo, by Donn Byrne. This is a book also from Starrett's 1955 list of 20th century books which will 'live' which has been republished and is in our local library--to my surprise, since I had never heard of the book before. It was first published in 1921 and is a fictional account of Marco Polo's romance in China, entirely fictional, but the language is poetic and felicitous. I thought it worth reading.

Imagine the kingdom of Asia sifted through the Celtic imagination. Messer Marco Polo is the fictionalized account of the travels of Marco Polo as told by Malichi Campbell, an Ulsterman. Young Marco Polo meets Kubla Khan, the King of Siam, and Saint Paul, and he falls in love with the beautiful Golden Bells. After her magicians save him from death in the desert, he stays and marries her. Following her death, Polo returns to Venice as an old man. Audiobook producer Stefan Rudnicki and acting legend Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. were reminiscing one day about favorite childhood books when they both recalled Messer Marco Polo as one of the best. The result is this collaborative effort for a truly charming audiobook. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
