Blurb: “Follow in the footsteps of one of history’s greatest explorers. In this engaging mid-century travel narrative, Jean Bowie Shor retraces Marco Polo’s legendary route from Venice through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and into the remote mountain kingdom of Hunza. Blending history, adventure, and firsthand observations, the book captures a journey through regions that were rarely visited by Western travelers in the 1950s. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and maps, this is a fascinating snapshot of Central Asia before the modern era. Originally published in 1956. ”
