Overview

ā€œWhen people ask me what has happened in my long lifetime I do not refer them to the newspaper files and to the authorities, but to (Sinclairā€™s) novels.ā€ -George Bernard Shaw

ā€œPractically alone among the American writers of his generation, Sinclair put to the American public the fundamental questions raised by capitalism in such a way that they could not escape them.ā€ -Edmund Wilson

Upton Sinclairā€™s 1906 bestseller The Jungle is a startling and powerful novel depicting the plight of Jurgis Rudkus, a Slavic worker who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th Century for a better life. His dream of a finding a job, building a family, and buying a home are initially fulfilled in the Union Stock Yards in Chicago. Work in the meatpacking industry proves to be a harrowing and desperate existence, and his personal life is beset by a succession of hardships and tragedy. As bleak as his journey is, Jurgis finally finds his light in a new-found political ideology.

The Jungle is considered profoundly important in its exposure of despair at the margins of working-class life, and the atrocious descriptions of the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking process. The novel led to revolutionary reform of the industrial food industry and workersā€™ rights, and powerfully addresses many of the same issues that we are still grappling with today.

With a stunning new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Jungle is both modern and readable.
