Alexander Belyaev: Amphibious Man. The best

One of the founders of Russian science fiction, Alexander Belyaev, wrote more than seventy works. Among them are the cult “The Head of Professor Dowell”, “The Air Seller”, “Ariel”, “The Island of Lost Ships”, “Lord of the World”, as well as the social action-packed novel “Amphibian Man”. It was he who, after its publication in 1928, made the author a celebrity.
... There were rumors that some monster was cutting nets, throwing fish into the boats of the poor, and tangling gear. Pedro Zurita did not believe the stories until he saw how a strange creature saved a diver from the mouth of a shark. Scales, membranes, huge eyes and a human torso. A sea devil appeared before his eyes...

Years and decades go by - but the fascinating, touching story of young Ichthyander, who, as a result of a daring experiment by Professor Salvator, gained the ability to live both on land and in water, a story about his dangerous adventures in the “world of people” and his love for the beautiful Gutierra still captivates with its liveliness and emotionality.

The book includes the best works of Alexander Belyaev, which have long been included in the golden fund of Soviet science fiction: the story “The Last Man from Atlantis” and the novels “Amphibian Man”, “Lord of the World”, “The Head of Professor Dowell”, “The Man Who Found your face", "Ariel".
