Author Biography:

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, also known as The Voyage and Travels of Sir John Mandeville, Knight, is thought to have been written by Sir John Mandeville (who lived in the 14th century). The stories are excerpts from real travelers' accounts that Mandeville exaggerated and claimed to be his own adventures. It is still unclear if Sir John Mandeville was a genuine knight who traveled far or if he was a made-up person who was used to assemble and enhance different trip narratives. According to some hypotheses, a group of writers rather than a single person wrote the piece. "The Travels of Sir John Mandeville" is still regarded as a notable medieval travelog despite the ambiguity surrounding the author's identity. It greatly influenced how the Europeans at the time saw the rest of the globe, arousing their interest, wonder, and imagination.
