Journey through the medieval world with Ibn Battuta, the greatest traveller of his time.
This introduction to medieval-age Battuta and his journey provides a fascinating window into what the world was like in the 14th century with illustrations, photographs, and maps that bring the rich and diverse world that produced Battuta to vivid life. Illustrations.
Edoardo Albert has taken what may be the greatest journey ever made by one human - Ibn Battuta - compressed it elegantly, and still managed to communicate the time-transcending thrill of travel. In this odyssey-in-miniature, we can feel the itch of those fourteenth-century feet.
