Every time he returns from his travels, the great explorer Marco Polo is invited by Chinese emperor Kublai Khan to describe the cities he has visited. Although he conjures up a variety of magical and imaginative stories, it soon becomes clear he is only describing one city: the beautiful Venice. An enticing read full of vivid ideas, allusions and insights, Invisible Cities is a must read for anyone with an interest in history, and especially fans of the great Italian 'City of Bridges'.

In Invisible Cities Marco Polo conjures up cities of magical times for his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, but gradually it becomes clear that he is actually describing one city: Venice. As Gore Vidal wrote 'Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvellous invention like Invisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant.'
