Answers
Answer:
The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss tells the tale of a family stranded on a tropical island near New Guinea, and how they work together to survive. The story is narrated by the father, who is also the driving force behind his family's survival.
The family consists of the father, the mother ("Elizabeth"), and four sons: Fritz, age "fourteen or fifteen;" Ernest, age twelve; Jack, age ten; and Francis, age six.
The original book had a short introduction that explained that the father was a Swiss clergyman who had intended to bring his family "to Port Jackson as a free colonist." The family's intent to colonize explains why they came on a ship stocked with livestock and "seeds of every description."
The book opens with the family on the ship, a week into being driven by a storm. The ship wrecks on a rock and breaks in two; the crew of the ship flee in lifeboats. It is unclear whether they meant to abandon the family or just forgot about them. Fortunately the ship is.
