To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Tartar chieftain liked the young Venetian and asked him to go upon a trip for him through Burma, Yunnan, the Karakorum districts, Cochin-China and India. You had better look all these places up on your map and you will get some idea of the territory which a single man could rule in the middle ages.
52 The people in China worshipped strange gods FOR THREE years Marco Polo was the governor of the province of Yang Chow. Then he managed to return to Europe by way of Sumatra and India and Persia.... He reached Venice in 1295. He had been away for such a long time that his own relatives did not know him and believed him to be an impostor.
But at last they recognized him and he was asked to tell the story of the strange sights which his eyes had seen in the distant lands of Cathay. Just at that moment, however, there was a war raging between Venice and Genoa. Marco Polo was made commander of a Venetian man-of-war, and in the battle of Curzola he was made a prisoner. To while away the dreary weeks of his captivity he wrote an account of his travels and in this way we have a very accurate description of China and India and Central Asia during the middle ages.
