Amphibian Man" is one of the most famous novels by Alexander Belyaev, the founder of Russian science fiction. It is a fascinating and dramatic story of Ichtyander, a young man endowed with the ability to breathe underwater, who grew up in the absolute freedom of the sea, a realm beyond human control. The author skillfully depicts the contrast between the noble, loyal, and compassionate amphibian man and a world of wicked and cruel people corrupted by greed. With remarkable scientific foresight, the writer freely and boldly explores the possibility of extraordinary human achievements while reminding readers of a scientist's responsibility for their discoveries.
