The book stands as one of his two most notable works and has given Boulle a sustained presence in world literature. His other major work, The Bridge over the River Kwai, brought him recognition at the highest levels of the film industry and the literary establishment alike.\n\nBoulle was born on 20 February 1912 in Avignon, France. He was educated at Supélec and subsequently worked as an engineer before pursuing a career in writing. A French citizen who composed his work in the French language, he wrote across the registers of literary fiction and science fiction. During his lifetime he received several military decorations: the Croix de guerre 1939–1945, the Resistance Medal, and the Colonial Medal. He was also appointed an Officer of the Legion of Honour.\n\nAs a writer, Boulle received recognition from both the cinema industry and the French literary world. He was awarded the Academy Award for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay as well as the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay. From the French literary establishment he received the Prix Sainte-Beuve and the Grand prix de littérature de la Société des gens de lettres, acknowledgments that placed his novelistic work within a tradition extending well beyond genre fiction alone. These awards together reflect the range of his output as a novelist, screenwriter, and science fiction writer working in French.\n\nBoulle died on 30 January 1994 in Paris. His two most prominent works, The Bridge over the River Kwai and Planet of the Apes, continued to define his reputation after his death. The Academy Award for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay and the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay remain among the most concrete markers of the standing he achieved during his lifetime as a French writer who moved between literary fiction, science fiction, and the demands of cinema.","Planet of the Apes is a science fiction novel by Pierre Boulle, a French writer who also worked as a novelist, screenwriter, and engineer.
