«Gorilas en la niebla» is Dian Fossey's popular science work, published by Salvat Editores in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Dian Fossey narrates in the first person her research in the Virunga Mountains, where she lived with mountain gorillas until she was accepted by them. She describes the social life of these primates, the harsh working conditions in the jungle and her fight against poachers, as well as the work of the research centre she directed.
This edition, from the Salvat Scientific Library, translates into Spanish the original 'Gorillas in the Mist', published in 1983. Subtitle: '13 years living among the gorillas'.
It will appeal to readers of nature, biographies of female scientists and accounts of wildlife conservation.
Dian Fossey was an American primatologist and conservationist known for undertaking an extensive study of mountain gorilla groups from 1966 until her murder in 1985. She studied them daily in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey. Gorillas in the Mist, a book published two years before her death, is Fossey's account of her scientific study of the gorillas at the Karisoke Research Center and prior career. It was adapted into a 1988 film of the same name.
