Kéraban-Le-Têtu, Volume II

The narrative continues the expedition along the Black Sea littoral as companions confront missed connections, scarce transport, and a divided party. One member decides to ride horseback to reach a stubborn elder at the Turkish–Russian frontier while another composes a long letter to reassure his fiancée. Local impressions of Poti, its marshes and port, explain the delays that force improvisation and raise fears of illness. Comic and anxious domestic details punctuate the journey: a servant’s discovery of sudden weight loss at a quay balance underscores the physical toll of travel. Early departures are planned to overtake the intractable relative and resume the course.
