Features: This book consists of three English-Chinese comparative literary works. Robinson Crusoe of Switzerland is a renowned Western adventure novel written by the Swiss author Vis, and the English version included in this book is a rewrite by an American author, which is more concise and lively in both language and plot compared to the original. The story is about a Swiss family encountering a storm during their overseas migration and being abandoned by the crew. They drift to a deserted island, relying on their will and the items left on the ship, to start a simple yet fulfilling, strange yet interesting new life with their hardworking hands. The Story of Jim, a Police Dog in a Remote Forest is a short story that tells an interesting tale of the police dog Jim bravely rescuing a boy in the waters of the Dead River, with a tense and touching plot. The Eskimo Twin Brothers is a peculiar medium-length novella that presents a wonderful depiction of life in the polar regions—every day, so many adventurous stories happen to the twin brothers Mel and Mollie.
