The attention to detail and the accuracy of both the physical and geographical depictions of Siberia was noted by contemporaries, though itâs also said that Verne took some dramatic license in recreating some of the historical events.Ĭontemporary critics agreed that Michael Strogoff is a thrilling tale of the strength of men, of patriotism, and of the devotion of one human being to another. Like other of Verneâs works, Strogoff encounters many colorful characters along the way, and together they create a vivid depiction of the harsh life in Russo-Siberia, as well as the resilient spirit of its inhabitants.

Jules Verne is perhaps best known for his science fiction stories, and Michael Strogoff breaks that mold.
