Summary "Michael Strogoff; Or, The Courier of the Czar" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around the protagonist, Michael Strogoff, a courier for the Czar of Russia, who embarks on a perilous journey from Moscow to Irkutsk to deliver a vital message amidst a rebellion against the Russian Empire in Siberia. The opening of the novel sets a vibrant scene at a grand fête in the New Palace of Moscow, where amidst the celebrations, the Czar receives troubling news about disruptions in communication with the Siberian provinces. The narrative introduces the political tensions brewing in the backdrop, particularly revolving around a traitor named Ivan Ogareff, who poses a significant threat to the stability of the region. Michael Strogoff is soon introduced as a dedicated courier summoned by the Czar to undertake the crucial mission of delivering a letter to the Grand Duke while navigating through a war-torn landscape filled with danger. The stakes are high, as Strogoff's journey not only involves physical challenges but also emotional conflicts, particularly regarding his family ties in Siberia, suggesting deep themes of loyalty and sacrifice.
