Survival on the island! Father Johann, Mother Katharina, and their sons Jack, Fritz, Ernst, and Franz escape to an uninhabited island after a shipwreck. They explore this little paradise. Using food, tools, and animals salvaged from the wreck, they demonstrate astonishing creativity. Peter Stamm retells Johann D. Wyss' classic 'The Swiss Robinson' with linguistic finesse. With this sensitive adaptation of the over 200-year-old tale, which is hardly known in the German-speaking world, he creates a unique universe. Here, children experiment and learn real survival techniques. A discovery for young and adult readers alike!.
