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, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.

Its plot, surprisingly, is probably closest to the Tim Burton version. They share the same end twist, but it makes more sen...
Génial ! J'ai mis du temps à lire ce classique mais il vaut le détour, très bien construit psychologiquement, les descriptions sont parfaites, l'étonnement, le retournement, un bon livre de science fiction à dévorer :)
Niedawno odświeżyłam sobie film "Planeta małp" (1968) i w przypływie entuzjazmu postanowiłam zabrać się za książkę, na podstawie której powstał. Okazało się, że kinowy przebój jest luźną adaptacją powieści - co zwykle nie działa na korzyść ekranizacji. Jednak w tym przypadku film podobał mi się zdec...
I don't know. That's it, in a nutshell. I don't know if you will like this book if you've seen the movie. It will probably depend on (a) how long it's been since you've seen the movie and (b) how much you liked the movie in the first place. I don't know because the movie was such an amazing piece of...
