Jane Austen è una delle poche, autentiche grandi scrittrici che hanno saputo fare breccia nei cuori e nelle menti di tutti i lettori, senza eccezioni. Fra i suoi tanti capolavori, "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" (pubblicato nel 1813) è sicuramente il più popolare e amato: le cinque figlie dell'indimenticabile Mrs Bennet, tutte in cerca di un'adeguata sistemazione matrimoniale, offrono l'occasione per tracciare un quadro frizzante e profondo della vita nella campagna inglese di fine Settecento. I destini di Elizabeth, Jane, Mr Bingley e dell'ombroso Mr Darcy intrecciano un balletto irresistibile, una danza psicologica che getta luce sulla multiforme imprendibilità dell'animo umano, specie quando si trova alle prese con l'amore o qualcosa che all'amore somiglia.

"L'isola misteriosa", complemento della trilogia e al tempo stesso opera autonoma di gran fascino, fu ideata dapprima quale "L'Oncle Robinson", storia di naufragio dello stile dello svizzero Wyss, ma fu bocciata senza appello dall'editore. La trama tuttavia continuò il suo percorso all'interno della fantasia del suo autore e, pur valendosi di alcuni spunti originali si staccò dal primo abbozzo evolvendosi come terza valva del trittico e discernendo uno dei romanzi più amati dal pubblico e analizzati dalla critica.Uscito a puntate su un periodico a partire dal 1 gennaio 1974, "L'isola misteriosa" venne distribuito in volume già a inizio autunno e fu accolto trionfalmente. Aperto sulla guerra civile americana, il romanzo si lascia subito dietro la storia per rifugiarsi nella geografia: medium del trapasso è l'aerostato con il quale Verne aveva iniziato nel '63 la carriera di scrittore ("Cinque settimane in pallone"), mentre la falsariga degli eventi la offre il "Robinson" di Daniel Defoe. Un Robinson addottrinato, come esigono il positivistico Ottocento e la genialità precorritrice di Verne. Il gruppetto di naufraghi fa proprio l'imperativo di piegare la natura ai bisogni tramite la scienza, e quando i suoi sforzi riescono, per forza di cose, inadeguati, ecco entrare in scena - soccorrevole e invisibile - la figura mitica di Nemo, la cui finale apparizione va annoverata tra le pagine giustamente celebri della letteratura.
