Here is William Dalrymple's highly praised and greatly entertaining account of his 1986 trip made while a student at Cambridge, which retraced Marco Polo's route across land from The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to Xanadu. With him, he took a phial of Holy Oil, 600 pounds and Laura until Lahore, and Louisa from there to Xanadu. Taken on a multitude of types of transport and lasting four months, the journey takes him across Israel, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and finally China.

audio as well as reading is not clear. I am big fan of William Dalrymple, almost every book written by him I process including In Xanadu. Recently I started following audible , because of my interest I purchased this book, but performance of this audio book is horrible, reading is very fast and voice is also not clear. Usually a 300 page book takes around 10 hours of reading, this book completed by reader in less than 3 hours.

fast reading
