Before you see the movie, read the original novel! First published more than thirty-five years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history, from the classic 1968 movie starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell, through four sequels and two television series . . . and now the newest film adaptation directed by Tim Burton. In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems. They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.

´´I am confiding this manuscript to space, not with the intention of saving myself, but to help, perhaps to avert the appalling scourge that is menacing the human race. Lord have pity on us!´´ So begins the extraordinary science fiction classic, a tale so full of imagination, originality, chilling credibility. With these words, Pierre Boulle hurtles the reader onto the Planet of the Apes. In this simian world, civilization is turned upside down: apes are men and men are apes: apes rule and men ´´I am confiding this manuscript to space, not with the intention of saving myself, but to help, perhaps to avert the appalling scourge that is menacing the human race. Lord have pity on us!´´ So begins the extraordinary science fiction classic, a tale so full of imagination, originality, chilling credibility. With these words, Pierre Boulle hurtles the reader onto the Planet of the Apes. In this simian world, civilization is turned upside down: apes are men and men are apes: apes rule and men run wild: apes think, speak, produce, wear clothes and men are speechless, naked, exhibited at fairs, used for biological research. On the planet of the apes, men, having reached the apotheosis of his genius, has become inert. To this planet come a journalist and a scientist. The scientist is put in a zoo, the journalist into a laboratory. Only the journalist retains the spiritual strength and creative intelligence to try to save himself, to fight the appalling scourge, to remain a man. Out of this situation, Pierre Boulle has woven a tale as harrowing, bizarre, and meaningful as any in the brilliant roster of this master story teller. With his customary wit, irony and disciplined intellect and style, the author of the Bridge Over the River Kwai tells a swiftly moving story dealing with man´s conflicts, and takes the reader into a suspenseful and strangely fascinating orbit. Pierre Boulle is no stranger to the desperate games in both the scientific and political worlds. Born in Avignon in 1912, he was trained as an engineer, went to Malaya in 1936 as a rubber planter and joined the Free French in Indo-China at the outbreak of World War II. Captured and imprisoned for two years, he escaped in 1944 and was picked up by a British plane, spending the rest of the war with Special Force, Calcutta.

adventure,education and reference,foreign language fiction,foreign language study and reference,genre fiction,instruction,literature and fiction,science fiction,science fiction and fantasy,words language and grammar, If you've seen the progressively cheesier Planet of the Apes movies of 1968-1973, you may be shocked to learn the first movie was adapted from an intelligent, ironic, and literate novel. You'll be less surprised when you learn the original novel Planet of the Apes was written by Pierre Boulle, author of The Bridge over the River Kwai. In the novel Planet of the Apes, the three Frenchmen making the first interstellar journey discover a remarkably Earth-like world orbiting Betelgeuse--Earth-like, with one crucial difference: The humans are dumb beasts, and the apes are intelligent. Captured during a terrifying manhunt, locked in a cage, and ignorant of the simian language, Ulysse Merou struggles to convince the apes that he possesses intelligence and reason. But if he proves he is not an animal, he may seal his own doom. Like the first movie, the novel Planet of the Apes has a twist ending, but a twist of a different--yet equally shocking--sort. --Cynthia Ward.
