Description:

Created and produced by the Australian-based George Edwards Productions, “The Adventures of Marco Polo” relates the remarkable journey which Marco Polo, his father, and his uncle took to Persia and China in the late 1200s. These Venetian businessmen risked their very lives to establish trade relations with countries that, at the time, were thought to be uncivilized, dangerous, and possibly deadly. Their treacherous journey, as well as the riches, action, and intrigue they found when they arrived in the Far East, makes for thrilling and adventurous entertainment. This six-CD set offers the first twenty-five broadcasts of this fifty-two episode series; the remaining programs can be found in Volume 2.
