This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This it truly one of the greatest fiction books I've EVER read. I've always admired Jules Verne's writing, but this novel absolutely blew me away at how good it is - the description is outstanding, the characters are wonderful, the plot gripping, the tension rising with every chapter - it's beyond words good. I think this is one of those books everyone should read. Highly recommended!Product details

Michael Strogoff the Courier of the Czar Jules Verne Books Reviews
I’m always a fan of swashbuckling tales, and I’ve also been a fan (particularly in childhood) of Jules Verne. I’ve just never thought of those two things together, though, and so I was interested to read Michael Strogoff.
Michael Strogoff is a unique adventure tale set on the harsh Russian steppes. An invading force of Tartars has split Russia in two and has cut all telegraph lines from Moscow to Irkutsk (under the leadership of the Tsar’s brother, in Eastern Russia). Making the Tartars especially dangerous is the fact that a Russian traitor, Ivan Ogareff, has joined Tartars. The Russians in the West know of Ogareff’s betrayal, but the Russians in Irkutsk do not, and so they need a courier to take the message across Siberia and through enemy lines to the Tsar’s brother. This courier, of course, is Michael Strogoff.
There is so much to admire about the novel. It has a consistently interesting plot, with effective twists. The characters of Michael and Nadia are noble and daring, but they’re also satisfyingly believable. I thoroughly enjoyed reading a story set in this unique backdrop of Russian history and geography (even if it’s all made up, who knows). Finally, for a swashbuckling adventure, there was just an element of grittiness very befitting this story and that that other novels of this genre lack.
On the whole, this was a tremendous adventure story, and though Verne is most known for his science fiction or technologically inspired adventures, I much prefer this novel to any others of his I have read.
It's the story, but it is not a real book. Anyway. I take it the same, it is very hard to get.
This is one of the better Verne novel I have read recently. This book is more better than the film which I have seen in march.
I have colleted Jules Verne since I was 10 II am 78 now0 This book ustifies my fascinatio,
As all of Jules Verne's novels, very enjoyable reading.
This book is an excellent little treasure. Costing next to nothing, I have a book from the past by one of my favourite authors - Jules Verne. The added treat is that the book contains photos from the Ivan Mosjoukine production of Michael Strogoff as well - a forgotten classic made by the Russian emigre during the 1920's. During his time Mosjoukine was possibly the greatest actor in Europe (move over Emil Jannings). He is largely forgotten now, due partly to the fact that the French film board seems to be hoarding his films. They're well worth tracking down however.
The book is really special.
Love it.
This it truly one of the greatest fiction books I've EVER read. I've always admired Jules Verne's writing, but this novel absolutely blew me away at how good it is - the description is outstanding, the characters are wonderful, the plot gripping, the tension rising with every chapter - it's beyond words good.
