Overview
Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle is a powerful, unflinching exposé of the harsh realities of early twentieth-century industrial America. Following the plight of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant striving for a better life, the narrative exposes the brutal exploitation and unsanitary conditions of the Chicago meatpacking industry. Sinclair's gripping prose not only sparked the United States Congress to enact significant food safety reforms and led to the establishment of the FDA, but also drew attention to workers' rights and the plight of immigrants. An ardent muckraker and social reformer, Upton Sinclair wielded his pen to challenge the status quo and advocate for societal change.
Now available in a stunning hardcover edition in the Dover Bookshelf, this gripping tale of hardship, resilience, and the fight for justice remains as powerful today as when it was first published in 1906.
