The Swiss Family Robinson
by Johann David Wyss

After a shipwreck strands them on an uncharted tropical island, a Swiss pastor, his wife, and their four sons must rely on their wits, faith, and cooperation to survive. Using the supplies salvaged from the wreck and the resources of the island, they build a home, cultivate food, domesticate animals, and explore their surroundings—turning each challenge into a new adventure. Blending imaginative detail with moral lessons, Johann David Wyss’s enduring classic, first published in 1812, celebrates ingenuity, resilience, and the enduring strength of family in the face of the unknown.
