Dear Garmt,

I also think it's a very good idea and as Ariel Perez proposes it should be
included in the FAQ after the work reaches a satisfactory point.

In this context I have a question:

In a couple of essays written on Verne in Turkish, the writers assert that
he had visited Istanbul before writing Keraban, but they don't mention a
source.

As far as I know Verne didn't visit Istanbul, but I can't be sure because my
knowledge is limited.

Is there any mention of this supposed visit in any of the biographies?

Best,
Nejat
