About this listen

Dian Fossey's classic account of four gorilla families - one of the most important books ever written about our connection to the natural world.

For 13 years Dian Fossey lived and worked with Uncle Bert, Flossie, Beethoven, Pantsy and Digit in the remote rain forests of the volcanic Virunga Mountains in Africa, establishing an unprecedented relationship with these shy and affectionate beasts.

In her base camp, 10,000 feet above sea-level, she struggled daily with rain, loneliness and the ever-constant threat of poachers who slaughtered her beloved gorillas with horrifying ferocity.

African adventure, personal quest and scientific study, Gorillas in the Mist is a unique and intimate glimpse into a vanishing world and a vanishing species.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great if you’re interested in gorillas as I am but. It becomes a bit predictable as sad as the story is and is well read but without much passion for the disasters and good things.

Despite knowing that the book was written many years before I was born, the way it is written made me so invested in each of the gorillas.
What an amazing person!

A really moving book

A story with many layers of injustice all interacting together. With the local people facing harsh realities of this time and then the impact on the Gorillas as a result.

Deeply Tragic and Awakening
