Based on the "Jallia" sailboat which used to harvest pearls and terrifying sea demon that frightened Argentina, the story was created. "Ubhayajiwa" can be described as a wonderfully written book with the scenes which are fulfilled with thrill, horror, curiosity, battle scenes, love, the unseen wonder of nature, and life over the sea as well as under the sea. The uniqueness of this book is that each event is written by not just in a set of words, but in a way that can be experienced as a mental film, imagining and accompanying imagery to the live situations. The core character of the story, Ikthiyander is a character who always wants to live his life freely, enjoying the aquatic environment of the ocean. In fact, he is completely different from other people. Although he does not have much knowledge of human interaction, he has a high level of environmental and scientific knowledge and builds his life story through various painful experiences such as suffering, hardships, unexpected obstacles, challenges and separation. He is a man of love, friendship, empathy and kindness.


How does affect the society view him as an unknown sea monster... How does influence Pedro Surita and his partner Balthasar, as pearl merchant who sails the seas... How will change the life of Ikthiyander by Salvathar, Christopher, Guthiera and Olson, who emerge in the middle of the story?...


"Sea devil", on a dolphin, Surita's cause, doctor Jeewaka, Sick Granddaughter, Wonderful Garden, Third Wall, False Effort, Ubhayajiwa, Pisces Man's Day, Girl and Guest, Pisces Man's Hand, in town, In the Sea Again, Sweet Revenge, Surita's impatience, Bitter encounter, octopus fight, new friend, on the way, home came luck, fast forward, extraordinary prisoner, abandoned "Jallia", sunken ship, lost father, unprecedented case, "crazy philosopher", salvathar's statement, in the jail, escape, these 31 turning points make the story more colourful.


Throughout the story, J.E. Gunasekara has tried to create a more interesting way of turning the story upside to down in a way that is unpredictable from time to time. Gunasekera's translation contribution is fair as well as an honour to the original author.
