Человек-амфибия. Подводные земледельцы
Роман "Человек-амфибия", послуживший основой для культового одноименного фильма, прекрасно знают многие поколения читателей и зрителей. Идут годы и десятилетия, но увлекательная, трогательная в своем драматизме история юного Ихтиандра, который в результате дерзкого эксперимента профессора Сальватора обрел способность жить и на земле, и в воде, рассказ о его опасных приключениях в "мире людей" и его любви к красавице Гуттиэре, по-прежнему захватывает своей живостью и эмоциональностью.
"Подводные земледельцы". В 1930-м году, когда фантастика "в массовом порядке" исключалась из планов издательств, Беляев создал произведение, в котором романтика приключений уступила место романтике научного поиска. 90% Мирового океана до сих пор не изучено – так почему бы не построить колхоз под водой, осваивая океанское дно?

About the author
Alexander Belyaev
294 books200 followersAlexander Romanovich Belyaev (Russian: Александр Беляев); born 16 March 1884 in Smolensk, Russian Empire; died 6 January 1942 in Pushkin, USSR]
Born in Smolensk, at the age of 30 Alexander became ill with tuberculosis. Treatment was unsuccessful; the infection spread to his spine and resulted in paralysis of the legs. Belyayev suffered constant pain and was paralysed for six years. In search for the right treatment he moved to Yalta together with his mother and old nanny. During his convalescence, he read the work of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and began to write poetry in his hospital bed.
By 1922 he had overcome the disease and in 1923 returned to Moscow where he began his serious literary activity as writer of science fiction novels. In 1925 his first novel, Professor Dowell's Head (Голова Профессора Доуэля) was published. From 1931 he lived in Leningrad with his wife and oldest daughter; his youngest daughter died of meningitis in 1930, aged six. In Leningrad he met H. G. Wells, who visited the USSR in 1934.
In the last years of his life Belyaev lived in the Leningrad suburb of Pushkin (formerly Tsarskoye Selo). At the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during Second World War he refused to evacuate because he was recovering after an operation that he had undergone a few months earlier.
Belyayev died of hunger in the Soviet town of Pushkin in 1942 while it was occupied by the Nazis. His wife and daughter, who managed to survive, were taken away to Poland by the Nazis. The exact location of his grave is unknown. A memorial stone at the Kazanskoe cemetery in the town of Pushkin is placed on the mass grave where his body is assumed to be buried.

Морские страницы в начале ЧА еще ничего, написаны даже с каким-то подобием человеческого чувства, а дальше обычная мексиканская шняга, написанная на отъебись. Ну и сюжет, как мы знаем, несамостоятельный и несостоятельный. В Аргентине матросы, конечно, пьют водку стаканами. И фамилии там не склоняются, а это довольно чудовищно. Хотя я, конечно, забыл, что Ихтиандр был продуктом вивисекстора, эдакого доктора Моро, и носителем экологического сознания, спасал морских млекопитающих.
Единственное же достоинство ПЗ в том, что там действие происходит на умозрительном Дальнем Востоке. Во всем остальном роман совершенно нечитаем и заканчивается по-советски, заседанием.
