was a prolific American author who wrote over 90 books in many genres and was widely considered to be one of the best investigators advocating socialist views and supporting anarchist causes, he achieved considerable popularity in the first half of the 20th century. He gained particular fame for his novel, The Jungle (1906), which dealt with conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry and caused a public uproar that partly contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.[1]

In this powerful book we enter the world ofJurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrivesin America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom,and opportunity. And we discover, with him, theastonishing truth about "packingtown," thebusy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, wherenew world visions perish in a jungle of humansuffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the"muckraking" novel, here explores the workingman'slot at the turn of the century: the backbreakinglabor, the injustices of "wage-slavery,"the bewildering chaos of urban life. TheJungle , a story so shocking that itlaunched a government investigation, recreates thisstartling chapter if our history in unflinchingdetail. Always a vigorous champion on political reform,Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his1906 novel stands as one of the most important --and moving -- works in the literature of socialchange.

评分我猜,很多读了《动物农场》和《1984》的人,会极端痛恨SOCIALISM。他们痛恨的,实际上是集权主义,却把怒火错误的投向了奥威尔一直向往的民主社会主义。 另外,学过现在的显学——经济学的人,很有可能会被主流观点所误导,认为只要工资等价格要素可以自由浮动,产品市场就可...

评分It's not so interesting as what I expected, especially the latter part.
评分一场悲剧。
评分看的漫画版。怎么说呢,骗子太可恨了,但我觉得这家人太着急买房子了,啃了一个自己咬不动的骨头。(我是不是有点站着说话不腰疼)为了房子把13岁的小孩都送去工作,唉。无论是dust bowl大迁徙还是移民还是现在疫情,老年人都是最先被牺牲的。不知道是不是漫画的形式,我知道他们很苦,但在困难时候要但知道推迟自己的欲望啊。看到他们的困境真的心痛。
