The novel "The Amphibian," written in 1927, remains popular with readers today. The author chose distant Argentina as its setting, and the thrilling plot, unfolding against this exotic backdrop, keeps you on the edge of your seat.
One day, the brilliant scientist Dr. Salvator saved a young boy's life by transplanting a young shark's gills into him. He then kept the child and raised him himself.

This is how Ichthyander - the amphibian man - came into being. What sets him apart from ordinary people is his extraordinary ability to spend long periods underwater. The young man spends most of his time in the sea, surrounded by fish, dolphins, and other underwater creatures. But everything changes when someone appears in his life for whom he's ready to alter his destiny. Now, Ichthyander must choose: continue his accustomed free life in the boundless ocean or try to become part of the harsh world of humans.
