The Swiss Family Robinson

De: Johann Wyss

Narrado por: George Guidall

After the Robinsons - a minister, his wife, and their 4 young sons - are shipwrecked on a desert island, they must adapt to their new environment, which includes exotic birds and animals, but none of the comforts they enjoyed in their native Switzerland. Without modern conveniences or even clocks and calendars, the Robinsons must use common sense to build a home, find food, and tame the island's wild animals. Through their struggles and achievements, the courageous family not only survives, but finds a spiritual happiness that they never experienced in their civilized homeland.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is one of the dearest old books in the world." (W.D. Howells)

Great classic book, not the best recording

Any additional comments?

This is a great classic book, but the recording is not very sharp and sometimes difficult to hear clearly, everyone should read "listen" to this book maybe just try another copy.

Always love the classics

One can never be better than a classic that you can grow up with and still love to read or hear.

Better than Disney movie

My family enjoyed the story. So many good character themes. Totally worth it. I wish it had an epilogue to tell us about the kids lives.

Simple Times, innocence revisited

Joyful celebration of family and tenacity. Beautiful descriptions of land and accurate scientific information shared in a charming story.

Full family entertainment!

Good for any person of any age. They will find joy in many different areas of the many characters situations.
