DESCRIPTION:
Ichthyander, 'The Human Merman', 'Prince of the Sea' Yvonne P. Joseph "The Amphibian" is such a beautiful book. It is enchanting and absorbing concerning the fascinating, yet sad, life story of Ichthyander the Amphibian. Ichthyander is such a winsome character. He's loveably sweet and cute (and, of course, very handsome!). Plus, he's kind, and very sensitive. You'd want to give him a big hug and say 'Everything will be just fine. We love you just as you are -. "Still in love with Ichthyandar" according to A Customer. When I was 10 year old, my brother gave it to me as a gift on my birthday.

About the Author Alexander Belayev, the first-and very nearly the best-Soviet science fiction writer, was born in 1884 in Smolenak.

On a lonely stretch of shore, not far from Buenos Aires, Dr. The Indians revere him as a God but Zurita has a hunch that the God on land and the devil in the sea have something in common. As action shifts from the bottom of the sea to the Spaniard's schooner The Jellyfish and back again, with interludes in sun-drenched Buenos Aires and countryside, the mystery of Ichthyander the sea-devil is unfolded before the reader in a narrative as gripping as it informative.. Salvator lives in seclusion behind a high wall, whose steel-plated gates only open to let in his Indian patients. Sea-devil has appeared in the Rio de la Plata. Weird cries out at sea, slashed fishermen's nets, glimpses of a most queer creature astride a dolphin leave no room for doubt.

The Spaniard Zurita, greed overcoming his superstition, tries to ca
