The Travels of Marco Polo 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

Book Description

Marco Polo?s account of his journey throughout the East in the thirteenth century was one of the earliest European travel narratives, and it remains the most important. The merchant-traveler from Venice, the first to cross the entire continent of Asia, provided us with accurate descriptions of life in China, Tibet, India, and a hundred other lands, and recorded customs, natural history, strange sights, historical legends, and much more. From the dazzling courts of Kublai Khan to the perilous deserts of Persia, no book contains a richer magazine of marvels than the Travels.

This edition, selected and edited by the great scholar Manuel Komroff, also features the classic and stylistically brilliant Marsden translation, revised and corrected, as well as Komroff?s Introduction to the 1926 edition.

其焚尸也，必须请星者选择吉日。未至其日，停尸于家，有时停至六月之久。……其尤怪者，卜人有时谓不宜从门出丧，必须破墙而出。此地之一切偶像教徒焚尸之法皆如是也。

有丝甚饶，以织极美金锦及种种绸绢。是为一富足之州，由是一切谷粮皆贱。境内有野味甚多，且有虎。有富裕之大商贾包办其买卖商货之税额，君主获有收入甚巨。

（成吉思汗）进围一名哈剌图（calatuy）要塞时，膝上中流矢死。

某日有一妇人嘱彼缝制一靴。此妇腿足皆丽，出其足以量靴之尺寸。靴工心动，已而大悔。其人数闻福音书中之言，外眼有过，累及良心，应于犯过之前，立时将眼抉出头外。于是待此妇去后，取缝靴之锥刺其一眼。由是仅存一眼。

骑行二日，抵于大洋，海边有一城，名日忽鲁模思（Ormus）。城有港，商人以海舶运载香料、宝石、皮毛、丝绸、金锦与夫象牙暨其他货物数种，自印度来此，售于他商，转贩世界各地。此城商业极其繁盛，盖为国之都城。所属城村不少。国王名称鲁墨耽阿合马（ Ruomedam Ahomet）。阳光甚烈，天时酷热。2）城在陆上，外国商人殁于此者，国王尽取其资财。

此地用香料酿海枣酒，甚佳。初饮此酒者，必暴泄，然再饮之，则颇有益，使人体胖。其地之人性于有病时食肉与面包，无病食之则致疾。其习食之物，乃为海枣、成鱼、枸櫞、玉葱。其人欲保健康，所以用玉葱代肉。其船舶极劣，常见沉没，盖国无铁钉，用线缝系船舶所致。取“印度胡桃（椰子）树皮捣之成线，如同马，即以此线缝船，海水浸之不烂，然不能御风暴。船上有一桅、一帆、一舵，无甲板。装货时，则以皮革覆之，复以贩售印度之马置于革上。既无铁作钉，乃以木钉钉其船。用上述之线缝系船板，所以乘此船者危险堪虞，沉没之数甚多。盖在此印度海中，有时风暴极大也。

其人色黑，崇拜摩诃末。其地天时酷热，居民不居城中，而居城外园林。园林之间，水泉不少。虽然如是，若无下述之法，仍不能抵御此热：

夏季数有热风，自沙漠来至平原。其热度之大，不知防御者遭之必死。所以居民一觉热风之至，即入水中，仅露其首，俟风过再出。

每年11月播种小麦、大麦及其他诸麦，次年3月收获。除海枣延存至5月外，别无青色植物，盖因热大，植物俱干也。

船虽不坚，然有时不致破损者，盖有鱼油涂之。居民有死者，则持大服，盖悲泣亘四年也。在此期内，亲友邻人会聚，举行丧礼，大号大哭，至少每日一次。

此种船舶，太古之时已见有之。幹朵里克云：“此国所用之船，纯以绳线缝合,我曾登此种船舶，未见有铁一片。

涂船之油，乃鲸油。9世纪时之阿刺壁旅行家曾言波

斯湾之渔人取鲸脂熬油，合他物以涂船,填其空隙。

其船舶以椰子树制造,闻全以树材为之，以树干作船身，以树皮树叶作帆作绳，以椰子作载货。其最可注意者，船板皆用此种绳子缝合，涂以石灰,缘其地无松脂，亦无铁，所以其船不能抵抗海险。(沙儿丹说）
