Johann David Wyss

Johann David Wyss was a Swiss author, best known for writing 'The Swiss Family Robinson'. Born on May 28, 1743, in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss aimed to write a story that taught his four sons about family values, good husbandry, the uses of the natural world, and self-reliance. Wyss's educational background and devotion to teaching his children were reflected in his writing, making 'The Swiss Family Robinson' a unique blend of adventure and instructional elements, which has been translated into many languages and adapted into films and television series.
