Sobre este item
New York: Signet - New American Library, 1964. First Paperback Edition. Signed and inscribed by Pierre Boulle to his publisher: “To Kurt Enoch, Best wishes from, P. Boulle”. A great science fiction classic novel spawning a whole series of films. Rarely found signed and especially so in an edition in English, and in this case a terrific association copy. Paperbound, Fine clean copy, enclosed in a custom clamshell box. From the library of Dr. Kurt Enoch (1895-1982) who was a noted German publisher, forced to flee the Nazis, landing in New York in 1940. In 1948, Dr. Enoch co-founded and became President of New American Library - Signet Books which became one of the successful and acclaimed post-war publishing houses. Enoch went on to become one of the most highly regarded figures in American book publishing.
Sinopse
Pierre Boulle was born in Avignon, France in 1912. He originally trained as an engineer, but in 1936 went to Malaysia as a rubber planter. In 1939 he was called up in the French forces in Indochina. When France fell during World War II, he fled to Singapore, where he joined the Free French Mission. After the Japanese invasion, he was sent via Rangoon and the Burma Road to Yunnan to establish contact with Kuomintang forces. He infiltrated Indochina as a guerilla where he was captured in 1943. He escaped in 1944, was picked up by a British plane, and served in the Special Forces in Calcutta for the rest of the war. His first novel published in the United States was The Bridge on the River Kwai . It was awarded the Prix Ste. Beuve in France, and led to the motion picture that received an amazing seven Academy Awards. He considered his subsequent books, of which Planet of the Apes is the most well-known, to be social fantasies.
