關於本電子書

Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts schrieb der Berner Pfarrer Johann David Wyß (Wyss) eine Abenteuergeschichte mit dem Untertitel: "Charackteristick meiner Kinder. In einer Robinsonade". Erzählt wird darin der Schiffbruch einer Familie, die auf einer unbewohnten Insel strandet und dort, der Wildnis trotzend, ihr Überleben versucht. Sie bauen ein Baumhaus, betreiben Jagd, Fischfang und Viehzucht und kultivieren so die Natur – dank des handwirklichen Geschicks und der botanischen Kenntnisse des Vaters, für den die Herausforderungen des Lebens auf der Insel Anlass sind für die Weitergabe seines Wissens an die Söhne.

關於作者

Johann David Wyss (1743-1818) was a Swiss pastor and author whose life and work offer a fascinating glimpse into the Enlightenment era's intersection of faith, education, and literature. Born in Bern, Switzerland, Wyss was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, which emphasized reason, scientific inquiry, and a return to nature. As a pastor, he was committed to the moral and educational development of his congregation, often using storytelling as a means to impart ethical lessons.Wyss's literary contributions extend beyond his pastoral duties. He was an ardent advocate for practical education, believing that learning should be both instructive and engaging. This philosophy is evident in his didactic approach to writing, where he seamlessly blended adventure with moral instruction. His works often reflect his admiration for the natural world and his belief in the importance of self-reliance, virtues that resonated with the burgeoning Romantic movement.Intriguingly, Wyss's influence reached far beyond his native Switzerland. His ideas about education and morality found a receptive audience among contemporary writers and educators, who appreciated his innovative approach to storytelling. Despite his relatively modest literary output, Wyss's legacy endures, particularly in the way he championed the integration of practical skills and ethical teachings in literature.Wyss's life was not without controversy. His progressive views on education occasionally clashed with more conservative elements within the church and society. Nonetheless, his commitment to nurturing a well-rounded, morally grounded individual left an indelible mark on the literary and educational landscapes of his time.
