Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.

Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:

Marco Polo era un adolescente de Venice que navegó y cabalgó hasta China con su padre y su tío. Trabajó para el gran gobernante Kublai Khan y vio ciudades, animales e inventos de los que Europa nunca había oído. Después, capturado en una guerra, contó toda su aventura a otro prisionero que la escribió. Su libro hizo que los europeos soñaran con el rico y maravilloso Este.
