Keraban is determined not to pay the tax required to cross the Bosphorus by boat, so he journeys by land around the Black Sea. There is a fundamental mistake in dividing Verne's works into science fiction vs. non-science fiction -- in Verne's work there is an all-encompassing vision of science, progress, society and political struggles, which it is not convenient to compartmentalize.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good to see this in print,
This review is from: Keraban the Inflexible: Adventures in the Euxine (Paperback)
A good yarn by the master of yarns, and it is good to see it in print again, as it hardly ever is, in English anyway. I give it four stars for content and pedigree, but drop one since although illustrated, the woodcuts have been reproduced rather blurry.

This review is from: Keraban the Inflexible: Adventures in the Euxine (Paperback)
Having recently taken a cruise around the Black Sea, this book about a man who, in order not a pay a tax for traveling across the Bosphorus instead goes the other way, circumnavigating the Black Sea, is amusing. Not one of Verne's greatest works, but well worth your time.
