Making Reading Sound

Kublai Khan does not necessarily believe everything Marco Polo says when he describes the cities visited on his expeditions, but the emperor of the Tartars does continue listening to the young Venetian with greater attention and curiosity than he shows any other messenger or explorer of his.

An attempt has been made through this illustration book to revisit the cities and capture the essence in a fresh new style. It focusses more on the visual depiction of the 55 cities and gives space to the reader for interpreting the story behind it.
