Straight adventure novel, no science fiction. Easily one of Verne's better books, this is an underappreciated gem. Nadya, the 'damsel in distress' is a strong female character. The stalwart Michael must deliver a message from the czar to the governor of Siberia, about treachery afoot. He journeys through hostile Central Asian territory and is tortured. This is what we used to call strictly a "boy's book" and now, would be considered a Young Adult novel. I read this many, many years ago, but the...more

A nice straightforward adventure novel, as Michael on a mission for the Czar has to basically travel from one end of Russia to the other before a traitor can give the enemy armies vital information.
Michael is stoic to the point of having one facial expression, but he is determined, manly and good to his mother. His love interest is treated as a bit of a damsel, but proves to be every bit as tough as her boyfriend.

Being a fan of Jules Verne, of course I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It definitely wasn't the science fiction genre adventure such as 20,000 Leagues or Journey to the Centre of the Earth, but this was more one of pure adventure, determination, daring, one of those more true to life tales that you just must keep reading since you are constantly left wondering what will happen next.
I'll recommend 'Michael Strogoff' to all Verne fans or anyone just looking for an old fashion adventure...

MICHAEL STROGOFF, or, the Courier of the Czar. (1876). Jules Verne. ***
Jules Verne (1828-1905) wrote a lot more than science fiction, as we now call the genre that he co-invented with H. G. Wells. This novel was an example of his forays into the world of the action/adventure story. It’s a tale of a mission undertaken by its hero to reach an outlying post in Siberia and deliver from the Czar of the Russias. When the telegraph line is cut between Moscow and Irkutz, the Czar looks for another way...more

در دهه های گذشته، اغلب آثار ژول ورن با ترجمه های عجیب و غریبی توسط مترجمانی گمنام به فارسی برگردانده می شد و بیشتر جزو کتاب های کیلویی انتشارات گوتمبرک در ابتدای دهه ی چهل به فروش می رسید. نسل ما هم مثل همه ی نسل های جوان، ژول ورن را با تخیلات دور و درازش دوست داشتیم، چرا که بسیاری از آنچه او صد سال پیش تر خیال کرده بود، حالا پیش روی ما واقعیت داشت. گاه از مرز تخیلات ژول ورن، دورتر می رفتیم، عمیق تر در اقیانوس و بالاتر در آسمان، و سریع تر به دور کره ی زمین و ...از میان آثار او که به فارسی ترجمه...more

Une invasion tartare menace la Sibérie orientale. Le tsar, craignant pour la vie de son frère, envoie Michel Strogoff comme courrier délivrer un message à Irkousk en incognito. En chemin, Michel rencontre Nadia, une jeune femme allant rejoindre son père également à Irkousk et croise sans le savoir Ivan Ogareff, un militaire russe, un traitre, à la tête du soulèvement tartare. Tranversant la Sibérie à cheval, en sorte de calèche dont le nom m’échappe ou bien à pied, le duo Nadia/ Michel, se heurt...more
در ميان آثار (ژول ورن)، رمان (ميشل استروگف) از جايگاه ويژهاي برخوردار است. داستان در دوران روسيهي تزاري ميگذرد و ماجراي يك فرستادهي ويژهي تزار است كه مأمور به ابلاغ پيام مهمي از تزار به فرمانداران ايركوتسك است
ژول ورن چنان به موفقيت اين داستان ايمان داشت كه در نامهاي به ناشر خود چنين نوشت: ديگر به هيچ چيز نميانديشم. اين داستان بياندازه هيجانآور و شگفتانگيز است

This is one of the better Verne novels I have read in my current reading of a lot of lessser Verne. It has no sf element, being a straight adventure movel. The hero is a courier sent by the czar (by implication, Alexander II --his more generous policies to Siberian exiles are stressed) to his brother Grand Duke Sergius in Irkutsk during a revolt of

Solo un corriere poteva sostituirsi alla corrente interrotta. Molto tempo gli sarebbe occorso a percorrere le cinquemiladuecento verste che separano Mosca da Irkutsk. Per attraversare le schiere dei ribelli e degli invasori, avrebbe dovuto valersi nello stesso tempo di un coraggio e di un'intelligenza "sovrumani". Ma avendo realmente cervello e cuore, si va lontano!
"Troverò questo cervello e questo cuore?" si domandava lo zar.

Thème: La Russie du XIX siècle. Le devoir.
Histoire de Michel Strogoff, messager du Tsar, qui doit traverser la Russie prise par les envahisseurs pour aller porter un message de la plus haute importance au frère du Tsar stationné en Sibérie orientale. Ce qui est inhabituel chez Jules Verne, le récit montre un peu d'humour (par la présence de deux journalistes maladroits)et relate une histoire d'amour (très idéalisée).
Le meilleur des Jules Verne à mon avis
3.5/5

Who knew that Jules Verne also wrote historical fiction?!? I just found this out when I stumbled over this fabulous book. If you are a Jules Verne fan then you will enjoy this character driven book that gives lots of information on the cultures of people living in Russia during the time of the Tzars.--Judy
استغرقت وقتا كان له علاقة بأنها كانت في البداية ممله إلي حد ما ، الشخصيات كانت تتسم ببرود غربي غريب ، القصة كلها تدور في فترة ما كانت روسيا إمبراطورية محكومة من القيصر ، ميشيل ستروجوف كان شجاعا ، متحملا ، ذكيا ، سريع البديهة لكنه بارد في أوقات كثيرة و له بعض تصرفات لم يكن من بد منها إلا لإظهار مدي قوة احتماله فقط ، نادية صبورة شجاعة لكنها تحمل نفس البرود الروسي و نفس ثقل الدم الذي اتسم به أغلب شخصيات القصة

Besides Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, Michael Strogoff is one of my favorites. Might be slow starting out, but pretty soon you start reading the twists and turns, and before you know it you are caught up into the book! Well worth the effort to read!!!!!
This book was the most influential book during my childhood - I remember hot Summers when I did not want to play outside, watch TV or do anything else but to know what would the next page would bring. This book is a gem, especially for young readers.
Michael Strogoff a courier in the Czar's service,is sent as an secret agent to Siberia.He will deliver a vital message to the Emperor's brother. Hopefully the letter will prevent a rebellion from spreading in that province.Along the road he encounters two suspicious journalists (French and British of course). These battling friends are always trying to sabotage each others reports.More enjoyably a young lady in distress appears. Neither cold or heat or mountains or rivers,not to mention the rebe...more

I really like the story. After read this book, we can see a romantic side of Jules Verne. Not like other JV's story, it tell us about an adventure that full of dangerous but had a romantic story within.
Michael Strogoff is a courier for the czar Alexander II of Russia. When the Tatar king Feofar Khan invades Russia, Strogoff is sent to Irkutsk to warn the governor, who is the brother of the czar. during the journey, Michael strogoff met some people like war reporter, and a pretty woman Named Nad...more

Noch so ein guter alter Bekannter, der beim Umzug wieder aufgetaucht ist. Ja, das waren noch wahre Helden, die Strogoffs dieser Welt. Ein ruhiger Nachmittag auf dem Boot - und schwupps - schon hat man´s ausgelesen.
La primera novela de Julio Verne que leí, y simplemente me cautivo. Lo tiene todo amor, drama, un reto imposible ... todo ello unido con las grandes descripciones a las que nos tiene acostumbrados Julio Verne en todas sus obras.

یادم هست که خواندمش و یک چیزهایی درباره نبرد و این ها بود. و یادم هست که آن موقع دوستش داشتم!
Una excelente novela de mi autor favorito en la infancia, tiene intriga, aventura, amor y peligros, entretenido y ofrece un vistazo a la vida rusa del siglo XIX
Wanted to read this ever since I found out about it... which wasn't easy to do, actually. Found it for $2.50! And the hero looks like Gregory Peck on the cover!
This is a reread of one of my most beloved books ever. Definitely my favourite villain, Ivan Ogareff and a very heroic hero Michel Strogoff who with the help of a courageous and loyal young woman beats all the odds and defeats the villain and his evil master plan. There are some race fails, Nadia is only 16 years old (something I had forgotten) and the omniscient narrator is a bit annoying when he goes into his travel guide mode. Still, I loved every page of it, I smiled at the dynamic duo of jo...more
One of my favourite childhood books and still reads very well. Verne's best novel. Pity there hasn't been an English translation for a while.
Bagus! Bikin tegang dan hati deg-degan. Alur ceritanya sangat mengalir dengan enak! Review-nya saya tulis di sini.
چون خلاصه شده بود، خیلی خوب نبود. ولی خب، برای کسانی که داستان برایشان مهم نیست، و فقط می خوان خوانش فرانسه شان خوب بشه، بد نیست.
Letto talmente tanto tempo fa da ricordarmi soltanto, nonostante fossi un moccioso, che mi colpì in maniera positiva
Me encanta esta literatura, es tan fresca y envolvente.. es una linda aventura atraves de la estepa Siberiana..
Maravillosa saga siguiendo al mensajero del Zar por los desconocidos territorios de la Siberia del Siglo XIX.
قد ترى الكتاب مملا في أوله لكثرة معلوماته التي يقدمها تاريخيا و جغرافيا بكثافة ... لكن تبدأالاثارة عند ظهور البطل ... الكتاب و الاسلوب و الحبكة رائعين ... من أكثر الروايات التي استمتعت بها ... و أسلوب الكاتب في الوصف أكثر من ممتاز ... سواء وصف الاحداث او الاماكن

“In the course of time, Michael Strogoff reached a high station in the Empire. But it is not the history of his success, but the history of his trials, which deserves to be related.”
