"People who can use their minds? No, this is not possible; unfortunately, the author exceeds his purpose at this point!"

Pierre Boulle is the first, perhaps the last, francophone who came out of Europe and was able to compete with his wild western counterparts with the science fiction novel he wrote. Planet of the Apes, which also inspired Planet of the Apes and other cinema adaptations, is the unique narrative of one of humanity's deepest fears.

In the not too distant future, three space travelers; It lands on a planet very similar to Earth, with its fertile forests, livable climate and clean air. Although this planet seems perfect in every aspect, nothing is actually as it seems.

The truth is soon revealed: While humans are savages on this planet, civilized apes are their masters. Ulysse Mérou, who was separated from his companions at the beginning of the adventure and had to fight alone, has to find ways to escape this heaven-like hell on his own.

Will Ulysse succeed in becoming the savior of humanity? Or will he be the last witness of this cursed future?
Planet of the Apes is a line more human than the planet of humans.
