Description
1875 Swiss Family Robinson Wyss Adventure Voyage Novel English Illustrated
“It was one of those happy days that God grants us sometimes on earth to give us an idea of the bliss of heaven.”
― Johann David Wyss, The Swiss Family Robinson
The Swiss Family Robinson is one of the most popular 19th-century Swiss novels. Written in 1812 by Johann David Wyss, this book tells the story of adventure of a family shipwrecked in the East Indies, their struggle for survival, and overcoming the obstacles of living on an uninhabited island. Wyss sought to teach Christian morality in this work through lessons of frugality, husbandry, and cooperation, even though the geographical and scientific aspects of the book were far-fetched and fictional.
This rare 1875 edition was published in Boston and New York with color illustrations and a decorative red cloth binding.
