Fate, however, gives him a new opportunity in the form of his new cell-mate, the Venetian traveler Marco Polo. Rustichello immediately recognizes the treasure that lies within the stories of the renowned adventurer and embarks on an odyssey -to capture Marco Polo's adventures on paper and complete a book that would bring him once again the favor of the Christian crowns: The book of the wonders of the world.
