"Kéraban-Le-Têtu, Volume I" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel written in 1883. When a petty tax is imposed on crossing the Bosphorus Strait, the stubborn Turkish merchant Kéraban refuses to pay. Instead, he drags his Dutch business partner and companions on an absurd seven-hundred-league journey around the Black Sea. Racing against a six-week deadline to arrange his nephew's wedding, Kéraban must outwit villains plotting to steal the bride's inheritance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
