The original novel that inspired the films! First published more than fifty years ago, pierre boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history. In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air.
