The Swiss Family Robinson

De: Johann David Wyss

Narrado por: Frederick Davidson

Swept off course by a raging storm, a Swiss pastor, his wife, and their four sons are shipwrecked on an uncharted tropical island.

As they struggle to survive in the wilderness, the Robinsons discover their own amazing ingenuity and courage, each of the sons utilizing his own unique nature as their adventures lead to difficult challenges. Although they have lost almost everything in the shipwreck, they are so resourceful that when rescue finally comes, they decline to leave the happy life they have constructed for themselves in their exotic haven.

This timeless, classic story of survival and adventure has fired the imaginations of readers since it first appeared in 1812, and it reads just as fresh as if it were written today. The natural wonders of the lush land make for an unforgettable setting, and the ingenious family will find a place in the listeners’ heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“All collections should have some version of The Swiss Family Robinson.”

“Classic adventures don’t get much better than this.”

great classic

I really enjoyed this reading. still a wonderful story to be loved by all ages. reader was wonderful.

Not like the movie

It took me a bit to enjoy the voice of the narrator. The changes in his voice for the different characters is subtle, but you can tell who's who. I always loved this movie as a kid. The book is way more detailed, which is what I expected. However, this was not what I expected. I did enjoy it and glad I took the time to listen.

Enjoyed listening while driving to our destination and going home. Wonderful

We enjoyed listening while riding. The reader did a nice job. Easy to listen. Pleasant voice. A good book for our vacation.

Aristocratic English accent for a Swiss family?

Where is a nice soft Swiss German accent? Classic story, wrong image of a Swiss patriarch. I kept expecting. "God save the Queen" to pop out. of his very proper rBritish accent.

A classic for a reason.

This is still such a beautuful, wholesome story of family cheerfully making do in all situations, and working hard together to carve out a good and full life. A delightful listen.
