Product Description: Originally published in 1906 by Upton Sinclair, THE JUNGLE sent shockwaves throughout the United States that resulted in cries for labor and agricultural reforms. It is indeed rare that a book should have such a political impact, but although Sinclair may have been surprised at the results, it is apparent while reading this novel that his words form a political agenda of its own...read more

This novel is the original and uncensored edition written approzimately in 1904. This cover was used in 1906 with the publication of the first commercial edition - less chapters and a less brutal description of both the working conditions and the production of miserable meat. As a muckraker, Upton Sinclair had no idea that this work of fiction would inlame the public and the politicians to the degree that it did. The story revolves around an immigrant worker and his family laboring in the slaughterhouses of Chicago and the iunhuman, slave like working conditions. It tells of the filthy and contaminated meat products produced in these disgusting factories. President Teddy Roosevelt read the book and immediately dispatched investigators to the heartland of America and as a result the Pure Food and Drug Act was enacted. This novel laid more groundwork for the continuing labor struggles of the turn-of-the-20th century. Jack London said, "Here it is at last! What "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did for black slaves. "The Jungle" has a large chance to do for the white slaves of today. It is brutal with life. It is written of sweat and blood and groans and tears. It depicts not what man ought to be, but what man is compelled to be, in this our world in the twentieth century. It depicts not what our country ought to be, or what is seems to be in the fancies of Fourth of July spellbinders - the home of liberty and equality, of opportunity - it depicts what our country really is, the home of oppression and injustice, a nightmare of misery, and inferno of suffering, a human hell, a jungle of wild beast." "The Jungle" is Sinclair's most famous novel. He went on to write "Oil" which the 2007 award winning movie "There Will Be Blood" is adapted from and many other novels including the Pulitzer Prize winner "Dragon's Teeth". Upton Sinclair, along with Jack London are truly the most important political fiction writers in American History. A Collector's Edition.

Product Description: Upton Sinclair won a Pulitzer Prize for his notorious 1906 novel The Jungle, a fictionalized account of the barbaric conditions of the men and women who worked in Chicago's meatpacking industry. And just as the horrific circumstances he exposed in that book more than a century ago appear to be recurring in our fast-food nation, so do those he highlights in his 1908 novel, the cautionary tale The Moneychangers...read more

1903. This fantasy is written by Upton Sinclair, the American writer and social reformer. Sinclair uses his satirical style to its greatest potential to hack away at the conventions of his time and in so doing, foresees his later serious critiques of capitalistic society.

Upton Sinclair was a prolific novelist, producing over 90 books in many genres. His book The Jungle, depicting conditions in the Chicago meat packing industry, was a national sensation, and led to the eventual creation of the Food and Drug Administration. Sinclair was an ardent Socialist, and ran for Congress on a socialist platform. His novel Dragion's Teeth, about the rise of the Nazi Party, won the Pulitzer Prize. Sylvia's Marriage, published in 1914, deals with the marriage of Southern socialite Sylvia Castleman, told from the viewpoint of her friend Mary Abbot. As Mary puts it, "I was to Sylvia a new and miraculous thing, a self-made woman." While coming from different backgrounds and classes, both women share the experience of marrying the wrong man, and Sylvia must deal with the consequences of her husband's pre-marital escapades. A critic termed it "A novel that frankly is devoted to the illustration of the dangers that society runs through the marriage of unsound men with unsuspecting women." "The importance of the theme cannot be doubted, and no one hitherto ignorant of the ravages of the evil and therefore, by implication, in need of being convinced can refuse general agreement with Mr. Sinclair upon the question as he argues it. The character that matters most is very much alive and most entertaining." -- The Times "Very severe and courageous. It would, indeed, be difficult to deny or extenuate the appalling truth of Mr. Sinclair's indictment." -- The Nation "There is not a man nor a grown woman who would not be better for reading Sylvia's Marriage." -- The Globe "Those who found Sylvia charming on her first appearance will find her as beautiful and fascinating as ever." -- The Pall Mall "A novel that frankly is devoted to the illustration of the dangers that society runs through the marriage of unsound men with unsuspecting women. The time has gone by when any objection was likely to be taken to a perfectly clean discussion of a nasty subject." @right = -- T.P.'s Weekly
