Johann David Wyss

    28 mei 1743 – 11 januari 1818

    Wyss wordt voornamelijk herinnerd om een werk dat geïnspireerd is door literaire voorgangers, gecreëerd met de bedoeling zijn zonen te onderwijzen. Zijn gevierde roman, vaak beschouwd als een hoeksteen van het avonturenverhaal, verwierf wereldwijd immense populariteit. Het vertelt het verhaal van een familie die vecht om te overleven en te gedijen in een afgelegen wildernis, waarbij thema's als vindingrijkheid, familiebanden en geloof worden benadrukt. De auteur beoogde een boeiend verhaal te creëren dat niet alleen zou vermaken, maar ook morele en praktische lessen zou bijbrengen, waarmee hij zijn nalatenschap als verhalenverteller verstevigde.
