Marco Polo was 17 when he set out for China...and 41 when he came back! More than 700 years ago, Marco Polo traveled from the medieval city of Venice to the fabled kingdom of the great Kublai Khan, seeing new sights and riches that no Westerner had ever before witnessed. But did Marco Polo experience the things he wrote about...or was it all made up? Young listeners are presented with the facts in this entertaining Who Was...? biography.

Story
Florence, 1469, en pleine Renaissance. Mais qui est donc cet apprenti qui ne tient pas en place dans l'atelier d'Andrea Verrochio ? C'est Léonard de Vinci, peintre précoce, qui bientôt surpassera son maître. Léonard se passionne aussi pour la sculpture, l'ingénierie... Il peint des chefs-d'oeuvre, comme la Joconde, et invente des machines incroyables. Ce touche-à-tout que les puissants d'Europe se disputent, gardera jusqu'à la fin un esprit libre, une curiosité insatiable et une inventivité hors du commun qui en font l'un des génies les plus brillants de notre Histoire.

As the Germans waged a brutal war across Europe, details of every Nazi plan, every attack, every troop movement were sent over radio. But to the Allied troops listening in―and they were always listening―the crucial messages sounded like gibberish. The communications were encoded with a powerful cipher, making all information utterly inaccessible … unless you could unlock the key to the secret code behind the German’s powerful Enigma machine.

Story
Four hundred years ago, no one bothered to write down the exact words of stage plays. Characters’ lines were scribbled on small rolls of paper (as in, an actor’s role) and passed around, but no master script was saved for the future. The main reason we’ve heard of Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and Shakespeare himself is that a group of people made the excellent choice to preserve the plays after the Bard died. If they hadn’t created the book known as the First Folio, Shakespeare and his works would surely have been lost to history.
