Johann David Wyss was a Swiss author, best remembered for his book The Swiss Family Robinson. He was born and died in Bern. It is said that he was inspired by Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, but wanted to write a story from which his own children would learn, as the father in the story taught important lessons to his children.
The Swiss Family Robinson was first published in German and translated into English two yeaslater. It has since become one of the most popular books of all time. The book was edited by his
son, Johann Rudolf Wyss, a scholar who wrote the Swiss national anthem. Another son, Johann
Emmanuel Wyss, illustrated the book.
Wyss has been described as an author whose style was “firmly Christian and moral in tone”.
There are also many underlying tones of Christianity throughout the book and in the case of many of the characters and their morals.
