Synopsis "Sir John Mandeville: The Travels 1322-1356"

Sir John Mandeville traveled between 1322 and 1356 through the known and unknown world of his century. He described fantastic countries, strange people and brilliantly organized the eclectic travel material into an artistic first-person narrative. He begins with a guide to the Holy Land, relating many anecdotes of his experiences and observations. Then he describes the fabulous wealth and wonder of the court of the Great Khan and details of Prester John's kingdom in India. Among the marvels he describes are various types of monsters such as dog-headed cannibals, flat faced people without noses or mouths, a race of herma-phrodites, people with ears hanging to their knees, and men whose heads grow beneath their shoulders.
