A book in a hundred. The facts compiled don't interfere with the fluidity of the narrative. I could only wish that it was longer.

A concise summary of several medieval travelers' accounts, providing a good introduction to Asian trade of the time. Readers wanting more in-depth knowledge can consult the bibliography for the full-length memoirs and related works.

Gordon translates personal biographies and memoirs to paint an interesting picture of Asia. A fascinating look at Asia from 500 to 1500, as seen throught the eyes of people who lived during the time.
