Amphibian Man (Illustrated): Science Fiction (in Russian)
Belyaev, Alexander
Synopsis "Amphibian Man (Illustrated): Science Fiction (in Russian)"
Roman Chelovek-amfibiya chitaetsya s nemalym udivleniem. Rech' ne stol'ko ob obstoyatel'stvakh, skol'ko o geroyakh: na stranitsakh romana vy ne naydete blagorodnogo, nemnogo naivnogo doktora Sal'vatora, mechtayushchego sozdat' podvodnuyu utopiyu, ne vstretite voploshchennyy obraz tragichnoy krasavitsy Guttiere i ee neputevogo, alchnogo, no sokhranivshego ostatki doblesti ottsa. I naivnogo blagorodnogo yunoshu Ikhtiandra vy ne vstretite - on sovsem drugoy blagodarya osobennostyam vospitaniya svoego priemnogo ottsa. Doktor Sal'vator sovsem ne dobryy doktor Aybolit, a kholodnyy, raschetlivyy i poistine besserdechnyy uchenyy-estestvoispytatel'. Da, tseli ego blagorodny - lechit' bolezni, razvivat' potentsial cheloveka, issledovat' morskie glubiny. No svoi khirurgicheskie opyty nad zhivymi sushchestvami on stavit prevyshe eticheskikh tsennostey. Ikhtiandr dlya nego skoree domashnyaya zverushka - udachnyy eksperiment, nezheli priemnyy syn. On rastit ego sotsial'no neprisposoblennym, yavno ne planiruya vypuskat' v svet, k lyudyam. K slovu, u professora est' obez'yana-amfibiya, kuda bolee udachnyy eksperiment, po ego sobstvennomu priznaniyu. Gde eto vidano, chtoby uchennyy stavil eksperiment na cheloveke prezhde, chem na obez'yane? Imenno takov on - Sal'vator. O poyavlenii Ikhtiandra v dome doktora voobshche otdel'nyy razgovor. Formennoe pokhishchenie - kidnepping! Neudivitel'no. Ved' odnim iz tolchkov k napisaniyu romana posluzhila nekaya zametka v gazete pro sud nad argentinskim doktorom, provodyashchim svyatotatstvennye opyty. Sleduyushchaya sostavlyayushchaya, dobavlyayushchaya v syuzhet romana ne lozhku, a polnyy bochonok besprosvetnosti - klerikal'naya. Doktor Sal'vator i kapitan Zurita prosto deti nevinnye po sravneniyu s episkopom Khuanom de Garsilasso, vozveshchayushchim ot imeni Boga o bogoprotivnosti sushchestv, izmenennykh khirurgicheski, i prizyvayushchim k ikh total'nomu unichtozheniyu. Vot takaya, filosofskaya kniga pro cheloveka-amfibiyu. Chto razbavlyaet mrak, tak eto neveroyatno yarkie i obraznye opisaniya okeana, so vsemi ego kraskami i igroy sveta, bystrymi techeniyami i podvodnymi obitatelyami. Deystvitel'no, polnoe pogruzhenie - chuvstvuesh' zhivoe prikosnovenie struy techeniya, shelkovuyu kozhu del'fina i teplo solnechnykh luchey v tolshche okeanskikh voln. Tem sil'nee shokiruet zavershayushchiy i porazitel'nyy povorot syuzheta - absolyutnoe otsutstvie zasluzhennogo nakazaniya dlya zlodeev i vozdayaniya dlya polozhitel'nykh geroev. Eto bolee zhiznenno v real'nom mire, no tak nespravedlivo i nepravil'no v mire knizhnom, gde dobro obyazano vostorzhestvovat', gde zlo dolzhno byt' nakazano!
