Salvaging whatever they can from the wreck, as the Family finds their way to a deserted tropical island, how will they overcome the adversities and survive? A classic tale of adventure, Johann David Wyss\' The Swiss Family Robinson has been entertaining generations of readers.
Yet the sense of our lonely and forsaken condition weighed heavily upon me as I returned to my family, constraining myself to say with a smile, Courage, dear ones! Although our good ship will never sail more, she is so placed that our cabin will remain above water, and tomorrow, if the wind and waves abate, I see no reason why we should not be able to get ashore.
