«El planeta de los simios» is the science fiction novel by Pierre Boulle, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (302 pages, in Spanish).
Journalist Ulysse Mérou and his companions travel towards the star Betelgeuse and land on the planet Soror, where humans live in a wild state and apes have taken power. What seems like a space adventure is in reality a social satire and an inquiry into human dignity and the fear of the unknown.
First installment of the Planet of the Apes saga, originally published in 1963 as La planète des singes. Translation by Enrique Folch González.
Classic science fiction with dystopian elements; for readers seeking the original fable behind the movie adaptations.
Pierre François Marie Louis Boulle was a French author. He is best known for two works, The Bridge over the River Kwai (1952) and Planet of the Apes (1963), that were both made into award-winning films.
