Sobre este artículo
Houghton Mifflin, 2001. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. James Rumford color illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2001 Houghton Mifflin paperback, first edition, no printing given - assumed first. Color illustrations by James Rumford. CONTENT: Ibn Battuta was the traveler of his age - the fourteenth century - in a time before Columbus when many believed the world was flat. Like Marco Polo, Ibn left behind an account of his own incredible journey from Moroco to China, from the stepps of Russia to the shores of Tanzania, some seventy-five thousand miles in all. James Rumford, himself a world traveler, has retold Ibn Battuta's story in words and pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps-maps as colorful and evocative as a Persian miniature, as intricate and mysterious as a tiled Moroccan wall. Into this arabesque of pictures and maps is woven the story not just of a traveler in a world long gone but of a man on his journey through life. It was suggested that the movie 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas was based on some of Battuta's travels.
Sinopsis
Ibn Battuta was the traveler of his age—the fourteenth century, a time before Columbus when many believed the world to be flat. Like Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta left behind an account of his own incredible journey from Morocco to China, from the steppes of Russia to the shores of Tanzania, some seventy-five thousand miles in all. James Rumford has retold Ibn Battuta’s story in words and pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps—maps as colorful and as evocative as a Persian miniature, as intricate and mysterious as a tiled Moroccan wall. Into this arabesque of pictures and maps, James Rumford has woven the story not just of a traveler in a world long gone but of a man on his journey through life.
