Woman in the Mists

Woman in the Mists | Farley Mowat

4 posts | 8 read | 2 to read

Deep in the volcano country of central Africa live some of the rarest, most intriguing animals on earth -- the mountain gorillas. Here, in the mist-shrouded forests, Dian Fossey courageously dedicated her life to studying them. Here she patiently waited until the luminous-eyed gorillas accepted her presence, hugged her, and loved her...while she fought for their survival against poachers, callous researchers, zoo collectors, and local bureaucrats. And here, surrounded by these enemies, she died, mysteriously and brutally murdered. Now, one of the world's most respected naturalist writers draws for the first time ever on Dian Fossey's personal writings to reveal the true story of a magnificent obsession...one woman's enormous empathy for a highly intelligent, desperately endangered animal -- and how it ruled her life, her work, and her heart.

Farley Mowat took much of this book from Dian‘s own journals/writings, and fills in the rest. “Gorillas in the Mist” focuses more on the gorillas themselves, whereas this (while including some of the gorillas) focuses more on Dian and the politics and relations with the various people involved. It would be a dream for me to study wild animals in the wild! So I really enjoyed this. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin Frustrating at the people who weren‘t helping Dian more with her “active” conservation, though I‘m not sure I would be brave enough to confront poachers with guns and machetes, either! 3y

I appreciate everything that Dian Fossey stood for. This biography written by the author of Never Cry Wolf shows deep understanding of her feelings, her passions, and her dreams. Excellent read about an amazing woman.

Thanks for the fantastic #5kgiveaway @ErinSueG Just got there myself the other day! Too hard to choose one book, but the tagged one made me cry, and rarely have I felt so many feelings throughout a book!
