About the Book

In her classic, In the Shadow of Man, Jane Goodall wrote of her first ten years at Gombe. In Through a Window she continues the story, painting a more complete and vivid portrait of our closest relatives. On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe is a community where the principal residents are chimpanzees. Through Goodall's eyes we watch young Figan's relentless rise to power and old Mike's crushing defeat. We learn how one mother rears her children to succeed and another dooms hers to failure. We witness horrifying murders, touching moments of affection, joyous births, and wrenching deaths. As Goodall compellingly tells the story of this intimately intertwined community, we are shown human emotions stripped to their essence. In the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected.

About the Author :
Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025) was an ethologist and environmentalist world renowned for her research at Gombe national park that provided a first-ever in-depth understanding of chimpanzee behavior. She travelled the world, raising awareness and learning about the threats people face today, especially climate change and loss of biodiversity. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute. As author of many books for adults and children and featured in countless documentaries and articles, she reached millions around the world with her lectures, podcasts, and writings. She was appointed as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, is a Dame of the British Empire, and has received countless honors from around the world. Through her decades of groundbreaking research, she became one of the most recognized scientists in the world. Pearl Hewitt is an award-winning British voice actor known for her distinctive, smooth, and flawless voice. She has produced a large body of voice-over work, with customers ranging from small businesses to global corporations.

Review :
"Both humbling and an exalting book, the result of thirty years of voyeurism that ranks with the great scientific achievements of the twentieth century." -- "Washington Post" "Narrator Pearl Hewitt deftly continues the story renowned primatologist Jane Goodall began in...In the Shadow of Man, her first memoir of her work with chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania...Once more, listeners will strongly relate to the chimpanzees, as does Goodall...Hewitt warmly shares snippets of Goodall's personal life..Most atmospheric is Hewitt's delivery of Swahili passages and African workers' humor and melodious English." -- "AudioFile"
