[edit] When is the novel set?

I think the setting of the novel is some forty-fifty years before it was written (it repeatedly has formulations such as "in those days..."), though the translation I read (a half-hearted Norwegian one) did not mention any year. Anybody know? And did the war really take place, or is it fiction? Jørgen 20:34, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

In the 1999 adaptation of the movie the use flintlock pistols.Maybe during the reign of Alexander I or Nicholas I?And how the hell he can be the courier for the czar Alexander III when he only came to power in 1881,5 years after the book was written?Or Verne took another guess?

Does anyone know when Michel Strogoff was born?? Where and when?????

[edit] Inadequate plot summary

Someone familiar with the book should amplify the plot summary. As written it is confusing; does not for example tell how Michael avoided being blinded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.30.221 (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
