Michael Strogoff, the tsar's courier during a time of uprisings in the eastern regions of the empire, embarks on a daring journey. He must traverse over five and a half thousand kilometers to deliver an important letter to the tsar’s brother, who is defending Irkutsk from Tatar attacks. On this journey, he will face armies of enraged rebels, bloodthirsty traitors, and his own conscience when he has to forsake his mother for the sake of his secret mission. One of the most gripping and human novels by Jules Verne, filled with continuous twists, a multitude of protagonists, and, above all, one of the noblest heroes created by his imagination.
