Gift book "Michael Strogoff" by J.Verne

Bukhara Emir Feofar Khan wants to go with the sun. He is ready to conquer all the lands from Tobolsk to the Ural Mountains. His actions are directed by a disgraced Russian officer who harbors personal enmity towards the tsar's brother, the Grand Duke. Siberia provides a convenient ground for an uprising, since political exiles, as well as criminals, can easily take the side of the attackers. The courier of the tsar needs to get from Moscow to Irkutsk at all costs and warn the Grand Duke of the deadly danger.

The next volume of Jules Verne includes the novel "Michael Strogoff" - a universally recognized masterpiece of the author, for various reasons little known in our country. The book is based on the story of Khan Kenesara, who led the national liberation movement of the Kazakh clans in the first half of the XIX century.
