Awe-Inspiring!"; "A Universal Film de France Triumph"; from the novel by Jules Verne; about a courier who has vital documents he needs to deliver to the Russian Czar, and he goes through the worst difficulties to do so, including being tortured with hot pokers in his eyes as his mother looks on!) starring Ivan Mozzhukhin (billed as "Ivan Moskine, Europe's Idol of the screen as The Secret Courier"; in the title role as Michael Strogoff), Nathalie Lissenko and Acho Chakatouny. Note that this movie is based on the novel, "Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar" written by Jules Verne in 1876. Apparently, this was an incredibly popular action novel of that time, and over the years, there have been around a dozen film adaptations, both silent and sound! Sometimes the lead character's name is changed slightly so as to not sound foreign to the country that made the movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of this novel in its original dust jacket. This book has the original dust jacket. Here are more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would usually include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good to very good. Note that this is one of a collection of 100 "movie edition" hardcover books we were consigned, including many great rarities! Each has its dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. We do not describe the condition of the book in words, but our many photos surely let you get an excellent sense of the exact condition of each book. Learn More about condition grades
