Chronicle Concering Books Michael Strogoff (Extraordinary Voyages, #14)
Michel Strogoff = Michel Strogoff (Extraordinary Voyages #14), Jules VerneMichael Strogoff is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. Critics, including Leonard S. it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon is a plot device. Michael Strogoff, a 30-year-old native of Omsk, is a courier for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. The Tartar Khan (prince), 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, who was once demoted and exiled and now seeks revenge against the imperial family. He intends to gain the governor's trust and then betray him to the Tartar hordes. On his way to Irkutsk, Strogoff meets Nadia Fedor, daughter of an exiled political prisoner, Basil Fedor, who has been granted permission to join her father at his exile in Irkutsk, the English war correspondent Harry Blount of the Daily Telegraph and Alcide Jolivet, a Frenchman reporting for his 'cousin Madeleine'. Blount and Jolivet tend to follow the same route as Michael, separating and meeting again all the way through Siberia. He is supposed to travel under a false identity, posing as the pacific merchant Nicolas Korpanoff but he is discovered by the Tartars when he meets his mother in their home city of Omsk. Michael, his mother and Nadia are eventually captured by the Tartar forces, along with thousands of other Russians, during the storming of a city in the Ob basin. The tartars do not know Strogoff by sight, but Ogareff is aware of the courier's mission and when he is told that Strogoff's mother spotted her son in the crowd and called his name, but received no reply, he understands that Strogoff is among the captured and devises a scheme to force the mother to indicate him. Strogoff is indeed caught and handed over to the Tartars, and Ogareff alleges that Michael is a spy, hoping to have him put to death in some cruel way. After opening the Koran at random, Feofar decides that Michael will be blinded as punishment in the Tartar fashion, with a glowing hot blade. For several chapters the reader is led to believe that Michael was indeed blinded, but it transpires in fact that he was saved from this fate (his tears at his mother evaporated and saved his corneas) and was only pretending. ...

ژول ورن نگارگر سرآمد روزگار خویش، «میشل استروگوف» را در سال 1876 میلادی بنوشتند، داستانی هیجان انگیز است. قهرمان داستان یک افسر روسی به نام «میشل استروگوف» است. ایشان فرمانده ارتباطات تزار هستند. او مأمور میشود، تا پیام مهمی را به شهر دور افتاده ی «ایرکوتسک»، در سیبری شرقی، برساند. بر اثر تحریکات افسر پیشین گارد امپراتور، به نام: «ایوان اوگارف»، که خلع درجه شده، و در پی انتقام است، قبایل تاتار، شورش کرده، و پادگان «ایرکوتسک» را، در معرض تهدید قرار داده اند. رویدادهای غیرعادی، و فراز و نشیبهایی که، «میشل استروگوف»، طی سفرش، از میان دشتهای پهناور سیبری، و در راه مبارزه با «اوگارف»، با آنها رودررو میشود، موضوع صحنه های هیجان انگیز داستان است؛ بویژه صحنه ای که در آن قهرمان رمان، به چنگ «ایوان» میافتد، و دستور میدهند تا چشمهایش را میل بکشند، تا کورش کنند، ولی ایشان خوشبختانه بینایی خود را، حفظ میکند، و نیز صحنه ی پایان کار «ایوان» نیز، که برای پیشبرد نقشه هایش، خود را پیک تزار، جا میزند، به یاد ماندنی ست. شخصیت «استروگوف» هم که مظهر شجاعت و تهور و فداکاری کم نظیر است، و چیره دستی داهیانه ی داستان پرداز، تا پایان خوش ماجرا، خوانشگر را در اوج هیجان، نگاه میدارد، و وصف محیط نیمه وحشی دشتهای سیبری، بر جذبه ی رمان میافزاید. «ژول ورن»، با همکاری «دنری» نمایشنامه ای نیز، از این رمان تهیه کردند، که در سال 1880 میلادی بر صحنه آمد. نقل نمونه از متن کتاب: «روح تاتار در قلب منه. نه در لباسی که پوشیدم. ما هر کدوم راه خودمونو ادامه دادیم. تو به مقصد رسیدی. ولی من نرسیدم. شاید من میتونستم با تو دوست باشم.»؛ پایان نقل. ا. شربیانی

Stunning.That was my first reaction when I read it as a young girl, and it hasn't changed! First you have Michael Strogoff himself. He is strong, masculine, and steadfast in a way that gives you a thrill! While his mental and physical strength could have made him a cold and mask-faced character, I did not find him so. His intense love for his mother, his pity for an unprotected young girl, and the agonized moments when his heart bids him to desert his mission only create admiration for the factA good old-fashioned adventure tale, an indestructible hero, a meek-but-strong heroine, setting out to achieve the impossible: crossing thousands of miles of Siberia, a large part of it on foot, trying to outrun hostile Tartar armies and a crafty villainous traitor in order to reach their destination and to deliver the Tsar's message to his brother, the Grand Duke, at Irkutsk and to save Mother Russia-Siberia from those ravaging Central Asian hordes. (Oh yeah, completely unmuzzled by "political
This the second Jules Verne book I have read, the first being From The Earth to The Moon. This latter book is not of the science fiction variety that Verne is generally known for. Here, the protagonist is a 30-year-old courier for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. The Tartar Feofar Khan incites a rebellion in the 1870's and separates the Russian Far East from the mainland, severing telegraph lines. Strogoff is sent east to Irkutsk to warn the governor (the Tsar's brother) about the traitor Ivan
Proof that, even without the sci-, Jules Verne wrote some pretty fine -fi. Although "Michael Strogoff" comes off, perhaps, a bit dated to the modern reader, it's hard to find much at fault in this bracing tale of Czarist Russia. Without giving anything away, Verne should be lauded for his willingness to weave real tragedy, hardship, and ugliness into his story. This uncompromising ethos adds pungent spice to a story which might have been rendered in far more saccharine flavors. Verne keeps us on
This is the second time I read this book, and this is the second time I liked it. It has a corageuos hero, a noble heroine, and a cruel villain. The sad part is, I just discovered that my edition is a short one, so I hope to re-read it a third time in a better one, hopefully in French, to grasp entirely Verne's words.
The most funny thing about the book is the image of a Russian. I can't say that this novel is filled with sophisticated metaphors or other ways to enrich authors language, On the contrary, the whole story is told from the point of view of simple moujik and so, is quite plain, however a bit dramatic and artificial. I loved it. I believe that for children up to 13 it could be interesting to read about adventures of such a loyal, obedient, strong-willed person as Michel Strogoff. Despite the fact
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
