Summary: "Their Island Home: The Later Adventures of the Swiss Family Robinson" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a sequel to the classic tale "The Swiss Family Robinson," exploring the continued adventures of the Zermatt family living in New Switzerland after shipping wreck. The narrative follows M. Zermatt, his wife, and their four sons as they navigate the challenges of life on an uncharted island, focusing especially on the imminent arrival of a ship that could change their fate. The opening of the novel establishes the Zermatt family in their isolated home, immersed in the daily rhythms of life after many years on the island. As the dry season begins, the Zermatts engage in their customary tradition of firing cannons as a signal to passing ships. The family, particularly M. Zermatt and his sons Fritz, Jack, Ernest, and Frank, faces a mix of optimism and anxiety about their fate as they cling to the hope of rescue. Suddenly, they hear cannon fire in response to their shots, igniting excitement and possibilities for contact with the outside world, setting the stage for upcoming adventures that may bring unexpected changes to their isolated existence.
