Adventure story by Jules Verne (french edition).

Le roman raconte le périple de Michel Strogoff, courrier du tsar de Russie de Moscou à Irkoutsk, capitale de la Sibérie orientale. Sa mission est d'avertir le frère du tsar, resté sans nouvelles de Moscou, de l'arrivée des hordes tatars menées par le traître Ivan Ogareff pour envahir la Sibérie. Sur cette route pleine d'obstacles, il croise la belle Nadia, ainsi que les journalistes européens Harry Blount et Alcide Jolivet. Il n’a que cinq semaines pour aller de Moscou à Irkoutsk. Les courriers du tsar mettent à peine dix-huit jours pour parcourir cette distance. Michel Strogoff met trois mois, à cause de toutes les épreuves qu'il doit surmonter. Par exemple, il se fait brûler les yeux et devient aveugle... Nadia, sa fidèle amie, le suivra tout au long de son aventure. Ils se font passer pour frère et soeur.

Product Description: Comme à l'habitude de Jules Verne, le roman est un habile mélange de données scientifiques, d'extrapolations osées et d'aventure. L'introduction du roman reflète l'engouement d'alors pour une science jeune, la cryptologieN 1...read more

Ce voyage extraordinaire est rendu possible grâce à la révolution des transports qui marque le xixe siècle dans le contexte de la Révolution industrielle. Le développement de nouveaux modes de transport (chemin de fer, machine à vapeur) et l'ouverture du canal de Suez en 1869 raccourcissent les distances, ou du moins le temps nécessaire pour les parcourir.

"In the Year 2889," which was first published in 1889, portrays a futuristic day in the life of a 20th century newspaper editor. Much of the story sounds like an episode of "The Jetsons." For example, a man is clothed by a mechanical dresser before being whisked off to work. The story, which is set in New York City (now called Centropolis), delves into what the future world might look like, including technological advancements, international relations, and social mores. First published n 1889 under the name of Jules Verne, "In the Year 2889" may be chiefly the work of Jules Verne's son, Michel Verne. Michel, who was in charge of publishing his father's work late in Jules Verne's life, may have had financial motivation to utilize his Jules Verne's well-known pen name. Regardless of actual authorship, many of the topics covered in "In the Year 2889" echo the ideas of Jules Verne, and the tenor of the book is generally in keeping with Jules Verne's optimistic view of future possibilities. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French author who helped pioneer the science-fiction genre. He is best known for his novels A Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869-1870), Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) and The Mysterious Island (1875). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. Consequently he is often referred to as the "Father of science fiction", along with H. G. Wells. Verne is the second most translated author of all time, only behind Agatha Christie, with 4223 translations, according to Index Translationum. Some of his works have been made into films.
