Pierre Boulle was born in 1912 at Avignon. Boulle spent the Second World War fighting in Yunnan, Calcutta and Indo-Chine, where he was captured by the Japanese. After the war he lived in Malaya, the Cameroons and, finally, Paris, where he settled until his death in 1994.
A scintillating mix of sci-fi adventure and allegory
*Los Angeles Times*
In 1963, at the most glacial moment of the Cold War, Frenchman
Pierre Boulle wrote a novel called Planet Of The Apes - a drastic
warning about where mankind's apparent desire to destroy itself
might lead
*The Mirror*
Boulle called on his own experiences as a prisoner of war in
South-east Asia during the Second World War, using the relationship
between man and apes as a metaphor for the treatment handed out to
prisoners by brutish Japanese guards
*Daily Express*
It's like a good myth or fairy-tale that stays with you... Part of
the strength of this material is its disruptive, questioning
nature. Who came first? Where are we going?
The subtext is strongly anti-slavery, anti-racist and anti-war
