The Voiage and Travayle of Sir John Maundeville Knight by Sir John Mandeville
"The Voiage and Travayle of Sir John Maundeville Knight" by Sir John Mandeville is a travelogue written between 1357 and 1371. This fantastical account claims to chronicle an Englishman's journey across the Near East to India and China, beginning in 1332. The work blends borrowed passages from genuine travel narratives with legendary tales of monsters, exotic customs, and distant lands. Despite its unreliable nature, it became extraordinarily popular and influenced explorers like
Christopher Columbus. The true author remains a mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
