À propos de cet audio

Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates. Captured and sent to a research facility, Ulysse must convince the apes of their mutual origins. But such revelations have always been greeted by prejudice and fear...

The inspiration for several acclaimed cult films, Planet of the Apes is both a gripping, disturbing fable and a classic of science fiction.

It was a joy to listen to the story that started all Planet of the Apes movies/series. So much so that I started watching them all, beginning from the first one in 1968. The book is excellent!

There are evil and kindness in all creatures.

I have wondered what Pierre's inspiration was? To tell such a great story, all be it, fiction, but none the less believable is a rare talent.

Interesting story and always fascinating to see a 60’s writer’s depiction of the future. The book has left me pondering modern connections related to machine learning vs AI and questioning who the advanced species really is.

A thought provoking read

I'm not sure how it's possible - but if you're not aware, POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW:












This translation of 'La Planète Des Singes' (from 1963) is creditable. Pierre Boulle offers a clever SciFi story about apes supplanting humans as the dominant species on our planet.. but isn't as effective as the Michael Wilson & Rod Serling screen adaptation starring Charlton Heston in an iconic role.

As to presentation: Reader Greg Wise does a professional job narrating the book.. but doesn't do anything to distinguish himself. To be certain, his diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing are commendable - but he often sounds like he's reading a book lying open on his lap. Audible Studios Inc. could have gotten a similarly effective performance from anyone who reads for a living.

Altogether, the film interpretations of the theme are better than this 7.5/10-star story ("OMG, THIS WAS EARTH THE WHOLE TIME!!" is waaaay better than "Hey! The monkeys took over while we were away"). If you can get this audiobook as a 'Plus' option (free with your membership), it's a great way to spend a long drive or a quiet night shift.. but you're better off sticking to the Hollywood versions of the story if you can manage it. Regardless, spending a Credit on this audiobook iteration would be a debatable decision.

That Twist..
