A pivotal book that changed life in the United States, Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle is one of the great radical novels of the twentieth century. Graphic, provocative, and uniquely impactful, the book traces the life of an immigrant family in pursuit of the American Dream in Chicago’s meatpacking district. Sinclair’s book pushed radical food safety regulation through Congress, got him invited to the White House to meet with President Roosevelt, and set him on a career exposing the contradictions at the heart of American capitalism. The Jungle has lost none of the force that made it an instant bestseller. Its rallying cry to fundamentally change the system remains urgently relevant today.
