Gorillas in the Mist is the account of Dian Fossey’s thirteen years in a remote African rain forest with the greatest of the great apes. Fossey’s efforts to ensure the future of the rainforest and its remaining mountain gorillas are captured in her own words and in candid photographs of this fascinating endangered species. Fossey combined her personal adventure story with groundbreaking scientific reporting in an unforgettable portrait of one of humanity’s closest primate relatives. Although Fossey’s work ended tragically in her murder, Gorillas in the Mist remains an invaluable testament to one of the longest-running field studies of primates and reveals her undying passion for her subject.
