Michael Strogoff
A Tatar rising has cut the telegraph east of the Urals and the Tsar's brother is shut up in Irkutsk, so a courier of the imperial household is sent five thousand versts across Siberia with a memorised letter he must not be caught carrying. Travelling as a merchant, he picks up a Livonian girl going the same way and two war correspondents who treat the invasion as copy. Verne's one straight historical adventure, and the biggest stage hit of his career.
