"Michel Strogoff: De Moscou à Irkoutsk" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Michel Strogoff, a resilient and courageous courier tasked with delivering an urgent message from the czar to his brother, the grand-duke, in Irkoutsk, amidst a Russian-Tatar conflict. The narrative promises a blend of action, tension, and exploration of themes such as loyalty, duty, and the spirit of endurance. The opening of "Michel Strogoff" sets the stage at a grand ball held in the Palais-Neuf in Moscow, where the czar is informed of a troubling telegram indicating potential treachery and invasion beyond the Ural Mountains. As festivities unfold, the czar's worry grows, and he decides to send a trusted courier—Michel Strogoff—on the perilous journey to Irkoutsk. This initial chapter introduces the reader to the political atmosphere of the time, the threat posed by invaders, and the personal stakes for Strogoff, who must navigate through a land filled with danger and uncertainty, all while keeping his mission and identity clandestine. The tension between celebration and impending war effectively hooks the reader into the narrative, foreshadowing the challenges that Strogoff will face.
