Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. It has been considered one of Verne's best books, ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written. Unlike some of Verne's other novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon.
Michael Strogoff, a 30-year-old native of Omsk, is a courier for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. The Tartar Khan (prince), Feofar Khan, incites a rebellion and separates the Russian Far East from the mainland, severing telegraph lines. Rebels encircle Irkutsk, where the local governor, a brother of the Tsar, is making a last stand.
Strogoff is sent to Irkutsk to warn the governor about the traitor Ivan Ogareff, a former colonel. The book has been adapted several times for films, television and cartoon series.
