Summary: "Kéraban-Le-Têtu, Volume I" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century, likely reflecting Verne's characteristic blend of adventure and exploration. The narrative centers on Jan Van Mitten, a Dutch tobacco merchant, and his loyal servant Bruno, who have arrived in Constantinople. They explore the peculiarities of the city, notably during the Ramadan period, and they encounter their friend Kéraban, a tenacious and traditional character with strong convictions and a resistance to modernity. The opening of the novel sets the stage by depicting a quiet, seemingly lifeless Constantinople juxtaposed against the bustling life it is known for. Van Mitten and Bruno enter the city just as Ramadan begins, leading them to experience a distinct and subdued atmosphere unlike the vibrant scenes they had anticipated. The story introduces Kéraban while hinting at the tension between him and the new governing authorities, particularly regarding an unjust tax imposed on those crossing the Bosporus. As the characters navigate the complexities of cultural and religious customs, the narrative builds anticipation for their forthcoming adventures and Kéraban's stubborn refusal to follow modern norms, setting the tone for the unfolding story.
