THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON
The Swiss Family Robinson is family classic written by Johann Wyss, a Swiss writer. It was first published in German in 1812.
The story is about a family which escapes to a deserted Island after getting ship wrecked. The family consisting of a couple and their 4 sons begins a new life of adventure and hard work in the isolated island. The family explored the island, cultivated land, hunted, constructed house, and invented machines. Even though they faced disappointments they moved forward bravely and succeeded in developing a civilized life.
The story motivates us to face the difficulties of life. It encourages us to overcome the barriers or hurdles that life place in front of us. The story also gives us the message that every thing happens,happens for the best. Facing difficulties in life helps us to realise our strength, makes us confident and also gives us a chance to improve ourselves.
The story gives importance to family and values such as honesty, unity, love, courage, forgiveness and faith. Eventhough this is a story the positive attitude shown by the family at the time of distress inspired me. The Swiss Family Robinson is a must read.
