Jules Verne is one of the authors I read the most during my adolescence. Thanks to him, I traveled to countries more distant than the others (and my little geographical knowledge is attributable to him!!). Therefore, joyfully, I plunged back into Michel Strogoff's adventures.
I had forgotten Mr. Jules' habit of listing his extensive geographical knowledge; his style has undoubtedly aged a little. However, I found the same pleasure as before in following Michel Strogoff to Irkutsk despite the Tartar invasion.
