A. Sir John Mandeville and Marco Polo

Explanation:

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville was a medieval book that circulated profusely and with great success throughout Europe between 1357 and 1371. From the author, the supposed man named Sir John Mandeville, history hardly knows of what is recounted in the book itself, therefore and he has been considered to be a completely fictional character. The books written about Marco Polo narrated his trips to China, several coastal regions in the East: Japan, India, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, as well as the east coast of Africa. Such books achieved a rare success for a book written on a time before the invention of the printing press and it was translated into several European languages.
