The works by Alexander Belyaev included in this book are united by the theme of sea voyages, underwater exploration, and risky adventures in the vast ocean. In The Last Man from Atlantis (1925), a retired New York manufacturer, Mr. Solly, equips a scientific expedition to find the legendary island nation once described in Plato’s dialogues… In The Island of Lost Ships (1927), the transatlantic steamship Benjamin Franklin, damaged during a storm, with three passengers remaining on board - an arrested criminal, a detective escorting him to the USA, and the young daughter of a billionaire - ends up in the stagnant waters of the Sargasso Sea, on an artificial island made of wrecked ships, which, strangely enough, turns out to be inhabited… The protagonist of the novel The Amphibian Man (1928) - undoubtedly the most famous character in Belyaev’s prose - as a result of a daring experiment once carried out by his adoptive father, the Argentine surgeon Salvator, acquired the ability to live in the water an element that gives him harmony with nature and a meeting with the beautiful Guttiere, and at the same time becomes his curse, forever separating the amphibian man from his beloved and from the human race.
