Razocharovannyĭ v zhizni irlandet͡s nanimaetsi͡a meteorologom v navigat͡sionnui͡u korporat͡sii͡u i otpravli͡aetsi͡a na dalekiĭ antarkticheskiĭ ostrov, predvkushai͡a skuchnui͡u zhiznʹ vdali ot mira, v obshchestve odnogo lishʹ smotriteli͡a mai͡aka.

Disappointed in life, an Irishman hires a meteorologist at a navigation corporation and goes to a remote Antarctic island, anticipating a boring life away from the world, in the company of only a lighthouse keeper. But on the very first night, creatures of the sea come to the island, and a voluntary retreat turns into an endless nightmare. What happens to people when they encounter the unknown? Two people on the island will exhaust their knowledge and discover that there is an abyss hidden in its depths. Albert Sanchez Pinol is an anthropologist, one of the largest and most distinctive stars of Catalan literature. He is the creator of amazing worlds in which the real and the fantastic mix, and man encounters Others again and again in the best traditions of Lovecraft, Conrad and Stevenson. "Cold Skin", the first novel by Sanchez Pinol, became a sensation in 2002, has already undergone about thirty reprints in Spain and Catalonia, has been translated into 37 languages and successfully filmed by Xavier Jans (in the Russian box office, this 2017 film was released under the name "Atlantis"). Again and again, at nightfall, the children of the sea come ashore, but who are the Others here — they who came from the blackness of the ocean, or we, the bearers of ideas about civilization, unable to see the living in Another?
