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.

* It's really disappointing to see not a single torrent exist of such a classical book. (not even in any format). ENJOY THIS CLASSICAL, ANYWAYS.
