HTML:The original novel that inspired the films! First published more than fifty years ago, Pierre Boulle's chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history. 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.… (mer)
I started off disliking this book quite a lot. In fact, I was very tempted to take it back to the library only a few chapters in. However, by the end, I loved it. I mean, it's not amazingly written, the first person narrative doesn't quite work, the concept's completely ridiculous and Boulle uses the word “latter" far too many times BUT it really does turn out to be a great story. It's quite different from the film in a lot of ways but it's still easy to go through the book thinking that you know exactly what's coming. Well, likelyhood is you probably don't. If you've seen the film then it's much better just to forget everything you remember and tackle the book afresh. Think of the film and the book as separate entities. Both have good twists and both are worth feasting your eyes. The film's worth watching just for Charlton Heston, “damn dirty ape!" and the “you blew it up!" speech. The book is worth reading simply because it has a fuller story than the film and a different/better twist. ( )
Ce livre est moins connu que les films qu’il a inspirés, mais est aussi extrêmement bon. La planète des singes est un livre assez court et facile à lire, mais contient des éléments philosophiques important à laquelle nous pouvons analyser, incluent les âmes – qui les ont? Toutes les créatures, ou juste ceux que nous croient « intelligent »? Qui est une « personne » qui mérite de pas être maltraité? Ce livre remettre en question les assomptions scientifique, religieux et éthique qui été populaires à l’époque. ( )
La aventura del humano Ulysse Merou en un lejano planeta donde reinan los simios y en el que los hombres son esclavos no contiene el grosor literario suficiente para continuar siendo válida hoy en día. Desgraciadamente, el tiempo, juez de universalidades, ha pasado por encima de este falso clásico como un huracán, descubriendo en la trama una evidente dosis de ingenuidad que confiere a algunos pasajes un carácter rayano en el infantilismo. No deja, por ello, de ser curioso que algunos autores actuales intenten utilizar ese mismo método para conseguir similares objetivos, como es el caso de Sheri S. Tepper en `El árbol familiar`, novela que incluso va más allá y propone un final no apto para lectores susceptibles de sentir vergüenza ajena.

Il largua tout la voile, l'offrant tout entière aux rayonnement conjugués des trois soleils. Puis il commença de manœuvrer des leviers de commande, utilisant ses quatre mains agiles, tandis que Phyllis, ayant chassé un dernier doute en secouant énergiquement ses oreille velues, sortait son poudrier et, en vue du retour au port, avivait d'un léger nuage rose son admirable mufle de chimpanzé femelle. -
He let out the sail, exposing it to the combined rays of the three suns. Then he began to manipulate the driving levers, using his four agile hands, while Phyllis, after dismissing a last shred of doubt with an energetic shake of her velvety ears, took out a compact and, in view of their return to port, touched up her dear little chimpanzee muzzle.
