About The Book:

Uvochor Manush (The Amphibian Man) is a Bengali translation of Alexander Belyaev's famous science fiction novel, translated by Nani Bhowmik. The story follows the adventures of Iktihandor, a young amphibian man with extraordinary abilities. As a “sea devil,” Iktihandor performs remarkable feats such as pulling fishing nets into the sea and rescuing drowning individuals. He rides on the back of a dolphin and announces his arrival with the sound of a conch.

The novel weaves together the struggles of the protagonist, Iktihandor’s adventures, the greedy pearl hunters who wish to capture him, and the beautiful young woman whom he saves and falls in love with. As the story progresses, the mystery behind Iktihandor’s unique ability to live underwater is gradually revealed.

Alexander Belyaev’s life was full of hardship, including a tragic accident that left him with a spinal injury and a later diagnosis of a debilitating disease. Despite these challenges, Belyaev became a prominent figure in science fiction literature, and his works, including Uvochor Manush, have been translated into numerous languages.

This hard cover edition of Uvochor Manush presents a thrilling and imaginative tale of adventure, love, and mystery, set against the backdrop of Belyaev's unique vision of science and human potential.
