Descripción
The book that inspired the adapted film, starring Owen Teague, Freya Allan, and Toby Kebbell A SPACE JOURNEY. A FEARSOME CIVILIZATION. A NEW WORLD?
With millions of copies sold worldwide, and already known as one of the world's greatest film sagas, Planet of the Apes is one of the greatest science fiction classics.
It is the year 2500. Journalist Ulysse, along with Professor Antelle and his student Arthur Levain, embarks on an expedition to the nearest solar system to try to solve humanity's oldest question: is there life in the stars? Their journey takes them to Soror, a planet very similar to Earth. But what they find there is completely different from what they know: although there are humans, on Soror they live like animals, hunted or as slaves of the apes, who govern that world. And when they capture them, it will be Ulysse who will have to prove his humanity to achieve freedom... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the adapted film, starring Owen Teague, Freya Allan, and Toby Kebbell A SPACE JOURNEY. A FEARSOME CIVILIZATION. A NEW WORLD? 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.
