Upton Sinclair
Here is the dramatic expos├® of the Chicago meatpacking industry at the turn of the century that prompted the investigation by Theodore Roosevelt which culminated in the pure-food legislation of 1906.
The Jungle is the story of Jurgis Rudkus, a Slavic immigrant who marries frail Ona Lukoszaite and seeks security and happiness as a workman in the Chicago stockyards. Once there, he is abused by foremen; his meager savings are filched by real estate sharks; and at every turn he is plagued by the misfortunes arising from poverty, poor working conditions, and disease. Finally, in accordance with Sinclair’s own creed, Rudkus turns to socialism as a way out.

“[Sinclair] saw through the lies of his era and exposed a world long hidden from view. He showed compassion for the weak and the poor, the powerless and the despised. He created images and characters that are poignant and memorable.”
(Eric Schlosser, New York Times bestselling author)“The Jungle has given to the world a close, a striking, and, we may say, in many ways a brilliant study of the great industries of Chicago.”
(New York Times)“More telling and more moving than even the works of Dickens and Zola.”
(Atlantic Monthly)“The most famous, influential, and enduring of all muckraking novels.”
(Merriam Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature)Briljant book, except for the end
