Reseñas en medios

"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
