I am having trouble understanding the end to the novel planet of the apes by Pierre Boulle.

As a young teen I enjoyed the planet of the apes films and recently came across the original story.

I was thoroughly enjoying it and considering adding it to my rare selection of books where I possibly enjoyed the film more.

I am somewhat confused by the ending. There were some far fetched scifi claims on historic racial memory which were a bit wishy washy but I accepted. Then the very end I just didn't quite understand.

I initially assumed the ship had been somehow delayed and a human ship with apes on board had left earth after the protagonist but reached the planet millenia before them. But there's no evidence of any great time distortion or prior visits so how does what he experienced logically come to have affected where he left?

I'm just left feeling there's too big a leap of faith between the first 99% of the story and the 1% when he returns.

Am I missing something?

Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle β€” Quick Review

Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle is a science fiction novel originally written in French. The novel is the basis for a famous movie series, which has unfortunately overshadowed the book.

The frame narrative is one of the weakest aspects. The central story is much better. The action is great and the basic idea entertaining. However, the book is not without its faults. Much of it is not believable and one of the final plot elements is disappointingly third-rate. Overall, a flawed book that manages to be entertaining and compelling, recommended for all.

Score: 8/10

Has anyone read the original novel written by the French author Pierre Boulle? It is in my opinion better than the original film franchise from the 60-70s and some topics of the book are even more interesting than those found in Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan Of The Apes. Definitely recommend it!

Trouble in Paradise by Pierre Boulle β€” Quick Review

Trouble in Paradise by Pierre Boulle is a fantasy novel originally written in French. The novel focuses on God, who is displeased with the whole trinity thing.

As is the case with most Boulle works, the central idea is excellent. Unfortunately, the execution is not great. The plotting is extremely poor and the pseudo-theological debate bogs the book down. Overall, it’s not quite as bad as Desperate Games, but I do not recommend this one.

Score: 4/10

What were the contributions of Boulle, Durand and Ledoux around and after the French Revolution?

The five hundred feet tall sphere hits you straight in the face.

To put that size into perspective, this sphere is taller than the pyramid of Giza. It is surrounded by two large barriers and dozens of cypress trees. On the inside, at the lower pole of this massive vault, is a seemingly small sarcophagus. The vaulting has holes in it, corresponding to different constellations. Hence, during the day, depending on the position of the Sun, the insides of the sphere lights up like the night sky. At night, the armillary globe hanging in the centre lights up the interiors like the day.

This sphere is Sir Isaac Newton's, a man and a symbol of The Enlightenment. The design ensures that the sky, the Sun and the stars emerge from Newton's sarcophagus. As he defines it, probably because symbolically he does– sitting under a tree, he defined how everything moves, from a human all the way to the stars, making seminal contributions to optics, mechanics, and mathematics. The spherical form of the cenotaph is a poetic homage to man, the age and its ideals.

Wondering why you cannot recall seeing any images or references of this marvellous monument? This is probably because it was never built. However, many of its inked and washed drawings were engraved and circulated in the late 18th century. The architect, Etienne-Louis BoullΓ©e, had many such buildings in his portfolio. Structures that were simple in concept yet evoked grandeur but were too vast ever to be realised.

BoullΓ©e was born in Paris. He was a part of the visionary generation of architects who played a key role in developing the language of Neo-Classicism. Most of his career was devoted to creating imagery and drawings that projected terror and tranquillity but were superimposed by a strong social char

Is there a way to revert back to 1.9.1 Boulle?

Apologies if I didn’t see an answer when I researched before asking, but it won’t allow me to opt into any beta before 2.1.3 Niven. I haven’t really touched the game since Boulle, as it was my favorite way to play and the newer versions have pushed me away from the game. Thank you!
