Keraban The Inflexible

Volume 24 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1883. Kéraban, the strong-headed Turk, refuses to pay a meager tax newly imposed on those attempting to cross the Bosphorus by boat. Determined to 'go the long way', he sets out on the several-hundred league journey, with his only deadline being to return in time to secure his nephew's marriage, and the 100,000 pound inheritance that accompanies it. This rare tale by Jules Verne is provided in a simple and clean bind, exhaustively recollected from surviving English sources to be once again enjoyed by Verne fans around the world. This particular edition is reproduced from English-edition public works, and is presented simply with an emphasis on straightforward presentation, attractiveness and continuity of appearance, with each title in the "Extraordinary Voyages" sporting a journal-style brown cover accompanied by a cover illustration and quote from the text on the back cover.
