Accompanying two priests to the East to ostensibly convert the court of Kublai Khan to Christianity, Venetian trader Marco Polo eventually pushes bravely forth alone toward a fabled heartland. Accepted as an envoy into Khan's court, Marco Polo advances as a Mongol grandee where for twenty extraordinary years he is marooned on the far side of the world. What he eventually brings back with him to the West is a chronicle that changed history.
