About this product

Product Information

"Practically 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." --Edmund Wilson When it was first published in 1906, The Jungle exposed the inhumane conditions of Chicago's stockyards and the laborer's struggle against industry and "wage slavery." It was an immediate bestseller and led to new regulations that forever changed workers' rights and the meatpacking industry. A direct descendant of Dickens's Hard Times , it remains the most influential workingman's novel in American literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

    Eye opening book.

    This was a very eye opening book. Not only to how hard times were for folk back in this period of history but also to just how nasty the meat industry was. Poverty conditions today are nowhere near what they were then. Children were put to work as long and hard as adults during this time. Under some of the harshest conditions. People in the meat industry were treated not much better than the animals they slaughtered.

    The Jungle

    One of the most compelling books Sinclair ever wrote. It was a condemnation of the meat organizations. The danger and disregard to health and quality of what was placed on the consumer's table.

    Great Seller!

    I like this literature because It states a lot of things that you'd never thought would take place with you food. Needless to say, I decide to buy it because it's a MUST to have this literature. I don't care what they want to classify it as (Fiction). I believe Most if not all that is written in this literature is of great importance!
