In 1291,after 17 years of service to the Emperor,Marco returned to Italy.He was now a very wealthy man.A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World,which became one of the best-selling books in Europe.
Although people enjoyed reading the book,many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fanatic to be true.But Marco always stood by his tales.Just before he died,aged 70,Marco was asked the question, " Was it all true?" And this was his answer, "I have only told a half what I saw!"
