pickEven though it was very heavy as trip/holiday reading I am glad I brought it along. The wrting of Menck is very colourful and derailed and the description of Marco Polos life in China has been very interesting. Again, I am not sure if the target group teenagers will feel the same. But I am definitely going to get a non-fiction version of Polos travels because this one got me jooked.
Found this on Instagram and was laughing hard because it reminds me of my holiday reading this year. But I will proof the artist Ellis Rosen wrong. 💪💪💪
Passing over from the adventures of young Marco Polo in Venice to his travels and enjoying the sun. 🤩🤩🤩
pickAfter reading two Nancy Drews I needed a break and started this huge 700 page brick for teenagers. There are actually two books in it: the adventures and the travels. I just finished the first, adventure part which I liked very much - especially the skillful writing of Meinck. But I am not sure if a teenager would enjoy it that much like I did. Particularly the number of pages might be discouraging.
Die Familien gehören sich nicht mehr selbst; das Meer teilt sie. Auf der einen Seite stehen Frau und Kinder, auf der anderen, unsichtbaren, handelt der Mann mit Gold, Diamanten, Fellen, Ziegenhäuten, Getreide und Teppichen, Ambra und Moschus, Jagdfalken und Gewürzen. Jeder Jahr opfert der Doge dem Meer einen goldenen Ring, vermöhlt Venedig mit dem Meer. Ein heidnischer, teuflischer Brauch!
