Cuando Verne ideó la construcción del Nautilus, escribió a Hetzel, su editor y amigo: «Le aseguro que su arca estará mejor equipada que la de Noé». Verne, que había visitado ya los centros de la Tierra y del aire, quiso bajar a los abismos del mar. Imaginó un personaje épico, el atormentado capitán Nemo, un sabio desengañado de la raza humana, que se mueve por una de esas obsesivas reivindicaciones tan típicas de la novela de aventuras: la justicia implacable, no exenta de venganza, y la humillación del adversario.

"Alexander the Great became king of Macedonia at the age of twenty. When he died, twelve years later, he ruled the biggest empire that the world had even known. Many people died as he and his army fought their way east. But he became a hero to many others, and his achievements were extraordinary."--Page 4 of cover

Publicada en 1896, entre «La máquina del tiempo» y «El hombre invisible» , este relato es una de las novelas más inquietantes de la literatura moderna, inscribiéndose de lleno en la crítica y ominosa intuición que el autor de este clásico, desde muy temprano albergó, respecto a los derroteros de la sociedad en la que le tocó vivir. La ciencia ficción, contrariamente a la opinión popular, trata sobre temas y asuntos relevantes de nuestro tiempo y no del futuro. Entonces, la isla que da nombre al relato y los siniestros hechos de los que es escenario son, en efecto, una desasosegante parábola sobre el lado oscuro de la ciencia y también una sombría exploración de la esencia y los límites de la naturaleza humana, tanto físicos como morales.
