The Travels of Marco Polo
"The Travels of Marco Polo" is one of the most significant and influential travelogues in world history, documenting the extraordinary journey of the Venetian merchant Marco Polo across Asia in the late 13th century. This classic narrative provides a firsthand account of the vast Mongol Empire under the rule of the legendary Kublai Khan, offering Western readers their first detailed glimpses into the cultures, geographies, and advanced civilizations of the East. Throughout the work, Polo describes the splendor of the Great Khan's court, the intricacies of the Silk Road trade routes, and the diverse customs of the peoples he encountered in China, India, and beyond. From the use of paper money and coal to the architectural wonders of Xanadu, the observations recorded here sparked the imaginations of European explorers for centuries, including Christopher Columbus. Edited by Manuel Komroff, this version captures the wonder and historical magnitude of Polo's odyssey. As both a historical document and a timeless adventure story, "The Travels of Marco Polo" remains an essential volume for anyone interested in the history of global exploration, medieval geopolitics, and the enduring connection between East and West.

Buying Heaven
1711. The Saint Joseph departs from Dublin bound for Newfoundland and Cádiz, carrying a crew of English and Irish sailors shaped by war, exile and misfortune. Among them is Sean Hora, the son of a respected Irish merchant, whose ambition is not fortune, but a return to Ireland to pursue a life of study.As the vessel crosses hostile Atlantic waters, the fragile balance between survival and law begins to fracture. In a world where privateering, commerce and war overlap, danger emerges not only from the sea, but from shifting allegiances and unseen intentions.When the Canary Island privateer Amaro Pargo sets his sights on the small Irish ship, the boundary between legitimate capture and piracy becomes uncertain. The disappearance of a royal passport places the legality of the prize in question, leading to a trial in which reputation, authority and honour are at stake.Grounded in archival research and inspired by real events, Buying Heaven reconstructs the complexities of the early eighteenth-century Atlantic world, where trade, conflict and ambition converge, and where the fate of men is often decided far from land.

Comprar el Cielo
En el Atlántico del siglo XVIII, la frontera entre la ley y el crimen era peligrosamente difusa. Comprar el Cielo es una novela histórica inspirada en hechos reales que reconstruye uno de los episodios más delicados en la trayectoria del corsario canario Amaro Pargo, cuando una captura aparentemente legítima amenaza con convertirse en un grave problema judicial. En 1711, el navío Saint Joseph zarpa de Dublín rumbo a Terranova y Cádiz con las bodegas llenas de abadejo. A bordo viajan marineros ingleses e irlandeses marcados por la guerra y el exilio, conscientes de que cruzan aguas enemigas donde un solo error puede ser fatal. En Cádiz se embarca Sean Hora, un joven irlandés honesto que solo desea regresar a su país para estudiar medicina, sin imaginar el destino que le espera. Cuando el barco entra en el punto de mira de Amaro Pargo, la línea entre captura legal y piratería comienza a desdibujarse. La desaparición de un pasaporte real transforma una operación lucrativa en una amenaza, y lo que parecía un éxito marítimo desemboca en un conflicto donde el honor, la ley y la ambición chocan sin remedio. Entre muelles, tabernas y despachos del poder, la novela retrata un Atlántico sin indulgencia, donde las alianzas políticas no siempre garantizan justicia y donde la codicia puede ser tan letal como una tormenta en alta mar. Comprar el Cielo combina rigor histórico y tensión narrativa para ofrecer un retrato humano y complejo de Amaro Pargo, alejado del mito y cercano a la realidad de su tiempo. Una historia sobre el precio de la ambición y los límites de la justicia en un mundo donde no todo se puede comprar.

Dünyanin Hikaye Edilisi Ciltli
Elinizdeki kitapta, Türk-Mogol tarihi acisindan da önemli bir kaynak olan Marco Polonun, XIII. yüzyilda Venedikten baslayip Kubilay Hanin sarayina uzanan büyüleyici yolculuguna dair essiz anlatisinin en yetkin edisyona dayanan Türkce cevirisi sunulmaktadir. Bilinen yüz kirk üc el yazmasinin ilk sentezine 1928 tarihli Italyanca bir edisyonda girisilmistir, ama eksiksiz sentez; Profesör Arthur Christopher Moule ile Profesör Paul Pelliotnun Toledoda bulduklari yeni bir el yazmasi sayesinde ancak 1938 yilinda mümkün olmustur. Mevcut el yazmalari toplamindan yola cikarak yeniden olusturulmus bu metin, Ingilizce olarak yayimlanmis, Fransizca tercümesi ise 1955 yilinda Louis Hambisin hazirladigi edisyonda verilmistir. Elinizde, 1955 edisyonunu esas alan, eksiksiz kabul edilebilecek bir metin söz konusudur. Ayni sekilde dipnotlar da bugüne kadar gerceklestirilmis calismalarin bir tür sentezidir. Burada sunulan metnin notlari, Stéphane Yerasimos tarafindan, 1865te özellikle Cin metinlerini esas alarak Polonun bilgilerinin degerini ilk kez kanitlayan Guillaume Pauthiernin notlarindan; Paul Pelliotnun son derece ayrintili ve acik secik notlarindan; Pelliotnun notlariyla karsilastirildiginda bircok noktada daha geri olsa da bir cözüm önerme özelligine sahip, dolayisiyla bu türde bir esere daha uygun olan Louis Hambisin notlarindan yola cikilarak hazirlanmistir. Son olarak, sinologlarin ihmal ettikleri Bizans kaynaklarina da basvurulmustur. Böylece Il Milione, yani Bir Milyon Yalan adiyla da taninan Marco Polonun essiz yolculugu, kurguya degil, Yerasimosun tabiriyle, olaganüstü olanin en yüksek ifade düzeyine, yani gerceklige daha belirgin ve güclü bir sekilde raptedilmistir.
