Adventures Around the Black Sea

About This Novel
The protagonist Kelabang is a tobacco merchant with a stubborn and old-fashioned nature. He was going to his nephew's house across the strait to attend a wedding. In order to express his dissatisfaction with the unreasonable tax policy, he decided to lead people along the Black Sea to the other side of the strait, and experienced numerous difficulties and obstacles. Their carriage was bitten by mosquitoes, besieged by wild boars, and encountered thrilling dangers such as a volcanic eruption of underground gases in the prairie, which nearly killed them; in addition, they had to deal with the machinations of Turkish dignitaries... Verne used his profound geographical knowledge to vividly depict the beautiful scenery along the Black Sea coast, the lively scenes of Constantinople, Turkish customs, and the traditional customs of the Kalmuks nomadic tribe.
