About the Book

Juan de Mandeville es el nombre con que se identifica al compilador de Los Viajes de Juan de Mandeville, o El Libro de las Maravillas del Mundo, un libro que cuenta los supuestos viajes del autor, y que circularon por primera vez entre 1357 y 1371 DC. El libro se tornó muy popular en su época y, a pesar de su naturaleza fantástica e irreal, fue usado como trabajo de referencia por aventureros tan famosos como el propio Cristobal Colón. En el prefacio del libro, el autor se llama a sí mismo caballero, y menciona haber nacido en Inglaterra. Aunque el libro es real, en la actualidad se cree que el autor no lo es. Varias teorías apuntan a diferentes autores, unos verdaderos viajeros, y otros escritores de la época afiliados a la Iglesia o a la nobleza. Juan de Mandeville partió hacia Egipto el día de San Miguel de 1322. Afirma que fue un mercenario al servicio del sultán, entonces en lucha con los beduinos. De Egipto fue a Palestina, siguió la ruta de la seda y visitó la India, el interior de Asia y China. Dijo haber servido durante quince años en el ejército del gran jan. Después de una ausencia de 34 años, regresó en 1356, años posteriores a la peste negra del siglo XIV, que implicó una sangría demográfica en Europa durante los años 1347-1350. A su regreso, decidió, con la ayuda de un médico de Lieja, poner en papel las historias que había pasado. Describe el mundo conocido en su época, de forma notable el extremo oriental de Asia, que era entonces poco conocido de los occidentales: sólo los franciscanos y los dominicos, así como Marco Polo, se atrevieron a aventurarse en regiones tan lejanas. El relato de los primeros misioneros (Guillermo de Rubrouck) o de exploradores como Marco Polo estaban poco difundidos en Occidente en aquella época. En la obra se describen itinerarios, se insertan historias y leyendas fabulosas en un relato de variadas referencias bíblicas y consideraciones religiosas.
