Books: Travel - Title: Maro Polo's Isle
Author: Michael Donley Publisher: Spencer & Glynn, UK, 2005, 172pp ISBN: 0954-989-406 Smith Settle Ltd The author offers an in-depth view of one particular island, but at the same time captures the spirit of Dalmatia as a whole. Although Marco Polo fought on the side of the Venetians, Korčula claims – with a fair amount of evidence – that it, not Venice, was his birth-place. Using this theme as a connecting thread, the author brings to life from the inside the people, traditions, language, history, music and festivals of Marco Polo’s Isle, one of the most beautiful in Dalmatia. Anyone who has visited this lovely island will want a copy of Marco Polos Isle on their bookshelf. It is not just a once-off read but a beautifully written treasure trove of information in which to dip again and again. Those who have not yet visited Korčula will be booking their passage well before the last chapter. korculainfo.com
