Johann David Wyss (1743-1818) was a clergyman in Berne, Switzerland. A former military chaplain, Wyss spoke four languages, loved nature, and was deeply involved in the raising of his four boys, reading to them and taking them on hikes and hunting trips. To teach them moral lessons and entertain them, he read them a story he had written about a family just like theirs (each boy in the story is based on one of Wyss’s four sons), who had been shipwrecked on a tropical island. This handwritten manuscript was more than eight hundred pages long and one of his sons, Johann Emmanuel, helped him illustrate it. Years later another son, Johann Rudolf, by then a professor at the Berne Academy, found his fathers manuscript, edited it, and published it in 1812-1813 as The Swiss Family Robinson. The first English translation appeared in 1814, and there have since been nearly two hundred versions of this novel, as well as two films and a television movie.

“For many days we had been tempest-tossed…the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost.”
From these dire opening lines, a timeless story of adventure begins. One family will emerge alive from this terrible storm: the Robinsons—a Swiss pastor, his wife, and four sons, plus two dogs and a shipload of livestock. Inspired by Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, this heartwarming tale portrays a family’s struggle to create a new life on a strange and fantastic tropical island. There each boy must learn to utilize his own unique nature as their adventures lead to difficult challenges and amazing discoveries, including a puzzling message tied to an albatross’s leg. But it is in the ingenuity and authenticity of the family itself, and the natural wonders of this exotic land that have made The Swiss Family Robinson, first published at the beginning of the nineteenth century, one of the most enduring and imitated stories of shipwreck and survival.
模仿鲁滨逊漂流记的荒岛求生故事,细节还挺详尽,但是感觉很多不合理的地方,随便什么动物都能驯化成家畜家禽,难道这是童话故事?可能是年代差异,这家人对自然缺乏敬意,靠着几把枪就作威作福,见到动物就打,死孩子,特别让人讨厌,读不下去放弃了,讨厌的一家人。
评分找不到先标记这个吧,算是读的第三本英文原著,从去年读到今年。故事还是小时候的我会喜欢的题材,从绘本开始,慢慢能读进去一些英文,也算有所进益,只是改不了遇到所有生单词都想查字典的毛病。下一本预备读格林童话,也不打算查字典做笔记了,不知何时能读完。但愿离开单位前能多读些吧

评分近期跟读材料,用了大概五天读完。虽然和鲁滨逊漂流记差不多的主题,但是感觉更像是儿童文学,很多地方都不太合理,不过如果是我小时候我一定很喜欢的吧。
评分“许多天我们一直连遭暴风骤雨,…直到第七天失去所有的希望。” 从这些可怕的开场白中一个永恒的冒险的故事开始了。 一个瑞士家庭在移民海外时,他们所乘的那艘船不幸遭遇风暴,他们从这个可怕的风暴中幸存下来,:鲁滨逊牧师,他的妻子和四个儿子,再加上两只狗和一船的牲畜,他们一家人都流落到了一个热带荒岛之上。受到丹尼尔·笛福的《鲁宾逊漂流记》的启发,这个感人的故事描绘了一个家族努力在这个陌生的热带岛屿开始一种新的生活。刚到荒岛上,一家人感到很迷惘,不过他们逐渐克服了生活上的困难。这里每个男孩必须学会利用自己独特的自然条件作为他们应对困难的挑战和令人惊奇的冒险。其中还经历一个令人费解的谜团与信天翁的腿。
