Se puede decir que la presente novela de Verne es un compendio de sus ideas sobre el ser humano y la sociedad, además de una suerte de autobiografía espiritual. El hijo del escritor, Michel Verne, la publicó con numerosas modificaciones -nada menos que eliminando cinco capítulos y añadiendo otros veinte- y un intolerable cambio en el sentido ideológico de la obra. La novela fue publicada con el título de «Los náufragos del Jonathan», y esa versión es la que se ha traducido y publicado anteriormente en España. Ofrecemos aquí, por vez primera, el hermoso redactado original, inédito en castellano: el que realmente escribió su autor, donde se trasluce la amargura de Verne en sus últimos años y su fascinación por la acracia no violenta, al tiempo que se manifiesta su formidable capacidad para describir el mundo natural, mezclando la información enciclopédica con la visión poética
