Библиотека приключений и фантастики: Человек-амфибия

More about the book

The brilliant scientist Dr. Salvatore saves the life of a small boy by transplanting the gills of a young shark. Thus, Ichthyander – the amphibian man – comes into the world. The young Ichthyander spends most of his time in the sea, among fish and dolphins. One day, however, he encounters someone for whom he is willing to change his fate. He must face treachery and cunning, love and compassion, various human qualities, and endure many trials. In Russia, Alexander Belyaev is called "the Russian Jules Verne and Jack London" because he knows how to combine the challenges of an adventurous plot with the traditions of "high literature." His books teach us the same thing that Russian classical literature does: the purification of the soul through compassion, but they do so with the help of the whimsical twists of a fantastic plot. The book will certainly appeal to young readers who love science fiction and adventures.
