SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON by Johann David Wyss. (Henry Altemus, c.1903)

[fallingsunbindery]

The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss 125, 525 words | 395 pages Completed November 16, 2021

The Children's Illustrated Classics edition of The Swiss Family Robinson really activated my imagination as a kid, so I knew I had to bind it. As soon as I saw the endpapers I knew they belonged to this binding, so the cover and spine materials were chosen to coordinate :) I love the rich purple and gold text. Once again, this was an earlier typeset and I am not a huge fan of all the negative space, but it's a more successful attempt at rounding than some others and I just think the handsome exterior makes up for the lackluster interior.

Not Your Classics Challenge

day 20: The Lord of the Flies

Stranded on a deserted island...will civilization prevail? (Even when I was ~8 yrs old and obsessed with this book, I was a little skeptical that the family managed to find an island populated by flamingos, penguins, lions, tigers, wolves, monkeys, etc. ... but a little suspension of disbelief goes a long way!)

13 books!

I was tagged by @wheel-of-fish, thank you! I'm to answer these 13 (apparently 12) questions, tag 13 (or maybe 12) people and add a shelfie.

1) The last book I read:

Maim Your Characters: How Injuries Work in Fiction by Samantha Keel. (What can I say, I'm planning to horribly injure a character in a fic maybe hopefully.)

2) A book I recommend:

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, which I recommend so much that I'm trying to push my school's English department to make it one of required readings.

3) A book that I couldn’t put down:

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson.

4) A book I’ve read twice (or more):

I don't even know how many times I've reread The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel at this point.

5) A book on my TBR:

I really should get around to Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel, even though I genuinely just... don't care about Thomas Cromwell or Mantel's interpretation of him.

6) A book I’ve put down:

Like did not finish? Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson, multiple times.

7) A book on my wish list:

Well, I really want Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes from the Dungeons & Dragons game, but since they are upwards of $80, that's probably not happening.

8) A favorite book from childhood:

The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss. Somehow this completely unrealistic, ecologically and biologically inaccurate, and occasionally morally pedantic "stranded on a desert island" book lodged itself in my heart.

9) A book you would give to a friend:

I actually did give The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck to a friend. (And he lost it in a move. But bought me a new copy!)

10) There was no tenth question so I am making up my own; a fiction book you own:

The entire A Song of Ice and Fire series.

11) A nonfiction book you own:

Way too many, but uh... Stalking the Wild Asparagus by Euell Gibbons.

12) What are you currently reading:

Blood on the Page Volume One: A Writer's Compendium of Injuries by Samantha Keel and Tudor: The Family Story by Leanda de Lisle.

13) What are you planning on reading next?

You know, I kind of want to re-read The Hunger Games trilogy.

My shelfie:

This is one of my shelves.

Tagging: @meilas @from-aldebaran, @pureanonofficial, @nanasalt, @symphony-in-a, @box5intern, @emotionalmotionsicknessxx, @andrewlloydwebber, and my brain is friend and I can't think of others so whoever else wants to do it!

Wyss

When Robinson Crusoe came out, suddenly survivalist novels were the thing. The Swiss Family Robinson, by Johann Wyss, was literally written because of Robinson Crusoe (which is why they are called the Swiss Family Robinson--that's not actually the name of the family).

I remember watching the black and white film when I was a kid and loving it. I saw other adaptations later, but I always came back to that first one.

I've read the novel a couple of times. It's a classic, so we'll keep it, but overall survivalist fiction is not my thing. I think there's some benefit to reading the genre if you ever plan on being marooned on an island or want to spend any length of time somewhere tropical, but they can read very slowly because, of course, there isn't much plot. Not a reflection on the writers--just the genre overall.
