John McNeill - Review
_"In this slim volume, Stewart Gordon takes readers on a journey from Morocco to Manchuria, acquainting them with the lives, experiences, and reflections of eight great travelers from the centuries between 618 and 1521. The splendors of courtly life, the austerity of Buddhist monasteries, the rigors of sea travel and the silk roads, all come to life through these travelers' eyes. Gordon's narratives are leavened with just the right amount of historical context to help readers navigate."
