nUpton Sinclairs classic revelatory novel about turn-of-the-century business and immigrant labor practices. n Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant in search of a better life, faces instead an epic struggle for survival. His story of factory life in Chicago in the early twentieth century is a saga of barbarous working conditions, crushing poverty, crime, disease, and despair. n n Upton Sinclairs vivid depiction of the horrors of Chicagos stockyards and slaughterhouses aroused such public indignation that a government investigation was called, eventually resulting in the passage of pure food laws. More than a hundred years later, The Jungle continues to pack the same emotional power it did when it was first published. n nIncludes an Introduction by Alicia Mischa Renfroe nand an Afterword by Dr. Barry Searsn
