About this product

Product Information

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.

No complaints here! Arrived later than advertised, but that was fine. Good communication by seller. 150-year old book actually arrived in better condition than I expected even though it was delivered inside a thin plastic envelope. For the sale price, I am a very happy customer. Thank you!

  • "Planet of the Apes" is better than you think. Read it!

    This book, the root of the popular movies of the 1970s, is an extremely thoughtful book, with well thought out plot and clever turn abouts in how to look at animals, pets and zoo creatures. The book features a pair of twist ends DIFFERENT than the original movie with Charlton Heston on the beach. Originally in French, the translation works for the most part, but ocassionally, still feels like there may be a French expression or two that mystifies. The book is unusally thin, and early yellowing editions have been suplimented by a re-issue that features the Tim Burton movie poster cover. Presumably, that edition is faithful to Pierre Boulle's original, and is not the new screenplay.
