About This Book
In this powerful book we enter the world of Jurgis Rudkus, a young
Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America fired with dreams of wealth,
freedom, and opportunity. And we discover, with him, the astonishing
truth about "packingtown," the busy, flourishing, filthy Chicago
stockyards, where new world visions perish in a jungle of human
suffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the "muckraking" novel, here
explores the workingman's lot at the turn of the century: the
backbreaking labor, the injustices of "wage-slavery," the bewildering
chaos of urban life. The Jungle, a story so shocking that it launched a
government investigation, recreates this startling chapter if our
history in unflinching detail. Always a vigorous champion on political
reform, Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his 1906 novel
stands as one of the most important -- and moving -- works in the
literature of social change.
