The Robinson family, which consists of a father, mother and four sons, suffers a disaster at sea. Their ship came across a reef, and they are forced together with pets and cargo to land on a desert island. Soon the life was adjusted. But the family is waiting for a series of dangerous and exciting adventures.

This book, J. Vern was very fond of since childhood. Already at the end of his brilliant literary career, he decided to write a kind of continuation of the "Swiss Robinson" - the novel "Second Motherland".
