Bookroo's summary
Embark on a legendary journey with Ibn Battuta, a fourteenth-century traveler who ventures across 75,000 miles through lands like Tanzania, China, and Morocco. As he navigates diverse cultures and landscapes, his quest for discovery becomes a profound journey through life itself. What secrets and wonders will he uncover in this epic adventure?
From the publisher
James Rumford, himself a world traveler, has retold Ibn Battuta’s story in words and pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps–maps as colorful and evocative as a Persian miniature, as intricate and mysterious as a tiled Moroccan wall. Into this arabesque of pictures and maps is woven the story not just of a traveler in a world long gone but of a man on his journey through life.
