About This Novel
This is a work by the famous French writer Jules Verne. For readers who like Verne's works, this book is worth reading. Bulgaria was occupied by the Ottoman Empire from the end of the 14th century and established a constitutional monarchy after the Russo-Turkish War. This book takes the Bulgarian people's rise against foreign aggression and strives for national liberation as the background. It vividly reproduces this period of history through the legendary encounter and indomitable struggle experience of the navigator Radko. Since he has not heard from his wife Nadya for a long time, the exiled Bulgarian patriot Serge Radko, aliased as Ilya Brush, won the championship in a fishing competition, and in the name of fishing, he went down the Danube River, intending to return to his hometown of Ruse to find news about Nadya. For several months, bandits frequently appeared along the Danube River, disturbing people's peace. The leader of this group of robbers was Radko's love rival Ivan Striga. He often mentioned Radko when he robbed the village, causing people to mistake Radko for the bandit leader. In order to track down the bandits, Sheriff Carl Dragosh changed his name to Jaeger and boarded Radko's boat on the way. Along the way, they experienced various incidents. In the end, Dragosh captured the gang of robbers with the help of Radko; Striga was killed by Radko, and Nadya, who was kidnapped by him, was successfully rescued by Radko. From then on, they lived a happy life together. The book describes and introduces the Danube River, the countries and famous cities along its banks.
