Author Biography:

Johann David Wyss (1743-1818) was a Swiss author, best known for his classic adventure novel The Swiss Family Robinson. Born in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss was a pastor, a military chaplain and an avid naturalist. He was deeply interested in nature and the outdoors, which later influenced the themes and settings of his most famous work. The Swiss Family Robinson was inspired by Wyss's desire to write an instructive tale for his four sons, teaching them about family values, morality and the importance of self-reliance and cooperation. Originally published in 1812, the novel has since become a beloved children's classic that has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into various films, television series and stage productions. Although Wyss wrote The Swiss Family Robinson primarily as a pedagogical tool for his children, the novel's themes and adventures have resonated with readers of all ages for generations. The book's combination of thrilling exploits, survival skills and life lessons has contributed to its enduring popularity and status as a classic piece of literature.
