But one evening, his way is blocked by the police. According to a new law issued by order of the palace that very day, anyone wishing to cross the Bosphorus is now required to pay a tax. Here is the reaction of Keraban the Stubborn, the Istanbul tobacco merchant and protagonist of Jules Verne’s novel, to this newly imposed tax. Camera: Dirk Blom 2026 Podium Mozaiek – Amsterdam
