The sheer extent of the journeys recounted herein is breathtaking, and what information about all these distant places and cultures the author relays is fascinating - there just isn't all that much of it. Quite a lot of passages amounted to little more than "I went here, then I went there, and after that I proceeded to this other place." and about half the book consists of the translator's endless, often rather tedious annotations. I was hoping for more.
