continue their island life forever? This high-action
novel—available in its unabridged entirety—is perfect for young
readers’ libraries. Â
Originally written to entertain his four young sons, Johann David
Wyss based The Swiss Family Robinson on Daniel Defoe's classic
shipwreck story, Robinson Crusoe (1719). Upon its initial
publication in 1812, The Swiss Family Robinson was received with
great enthusiasm not only as a first-rate adventure story, but also
as a practical guide to self-sufficiency.
While traveling on a ship, a Swiss pastor, his wife and four sons
encounter a violent storm that abruptly transports them to a
tropical island. They attempt to navigate the desolate shore but
face looming danger and an unforeseen presence. A family venture
turns into a survival effort when a ship is damaged during a
tropical storm. A father, mother and four sons stumble across a
small island that appears to be uninhabited. They set up camp,
complete with makeshift housing, to protect against the elements.
While exploring the territory, they gather food and other creature
comforts. During their stay, the family is met with various
challenges that will test their faith in God and each other. The
Swiss Family Robinson is Johann David Wyss' literary masterpiece
that's been passed down from generation to generation. The story
found its biggest audience in the twentieth century with the 1960
feature film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Since then, Wyss'
message of family values and self-reliance have reached countless
children and adults across the world. With an eye-catching new
cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Swiss Family Robinson is both modern and readable.
