Michael Strogoff; Or, The Courier of the Czar

About this book

Tasked by the Czar himself with carrying a single, vital message across the vast, unsettled reaches of the Russian Empire, Michael Strogoff embarks on a harrowing cross-country ride with time running out and little chance of help. Pursued by insurgents, beset by the merciless Siberian landscape, and forced into impossible choices, he confronts danger at every turn and forms unexpected alliances while the fate of many hangs in the balance. Jules Verne’s vivid storytelling transforms a high-stakes mission into a sweeping adventure of honor, sacrifice, and human resilience—an exhilarating journey of suspense and striking, unforgettable scenes.
