The Travels of Marco Polo 31 reviews Marco Polo, Ronald Latham
Penguin Classics, 1958
The Size of the World
+ Barely believable adventures. + Marco's journey
It has been a pleasure to revisit the travels of Marco Polo. I was transfixed by these stories of travel and adventure when I was a child, and never questioned the veracity of the narrative. I know today that the narrative has been corrupted over the centuries, that "The Travels" can scarcely be ...

Sounds of Mongolia 2 reviews Egschiglen
Arc Music, 2001
'too' chinese ?
+ nice Mongolian folk music
In comparison to other Mongolian arists like Huun Huur Tu, this cd is,as the previous reviewer mentioned, quite polished and very listener friendly with a more modern feel to it. Also, you can hear the influence of chinese music, which makes Egschiglen's music more "tonal" than the music of Huun ...
