"You've Never Seen Planet of the Apes Like This Before" Topic

"We've see apes rise in the Muir Woods, reign supreme among the treetops, and even travel back in time to our reality. But we often forget that Planet of the Apes is based on a novel, and the Folio Society's new edition of that novel is filled with beautiful illustrations, which portray the planet of the apes in a whole new way.

Folio Society recently released a special collectors edition of Pierre Boulle's semi-satirical novel, Planet of the Apes (originally La Plančte des singes).

Ms. Elderkin appears not to have read the book she reviews, though she no doubt looked at the illustrations. Boulle's point was not faster-evolving apes, but humans who had stopped being original. Once we stopped changing our ways, Boulle wrote, it was easy enough for good imitators to usurp our position, but go no further--a point Boulle made repeatedly.

Indeed, looking at recent films, I can think of a couple of producer/directors who might just be well-shaved baboons. In certain literary genres, the chimps have clearly already taken over--but the imitations are still second-rate.

Thanks!.
