The book is set during the 1920s, a time of great social and political change in the United States. The protagonist, Carpenter, is a charismatic figure who preaches a message of love and compassion, drawing a following of both believers and skeptics. As Carpenter gains more followers, he becomes a threat to the established religious and political powers, who seek to silence him. The novel explores themes of faith, power, and social justice, and offers a critique of organized religion and the hypocrisy of those in positions of authority. Overall, ""They Call Me Carpenter"" is a thought-provoking and engaging work that challenges readers to question their beliefs and values.1922. Sinclair, American novelist, essayist, playwright, and short story writer, whose works reflected his socialistic views. Among his most famous books is The Jungle, which launched a government investigation of the meatpacking plants of Chicago, and changed the food laws of America. The book begins: The beginning of this strange adventure was my going to see a motion picture which had been made in Germany. It was three years after the end of the war, and you'd have thought that the people of Western City would have got over their war-phobias. But apparently they hadn't; anyway, there was a mob to keep anyone from getting into the theater, and all the other mobs started from that. Before I tell about it, I must introduce Dr. Karl Henner, the well-known literary critic from Berlin, who was traveling in this country, and stopped off in Western City at that time. Dr. Henner was the cause of my going to see the picture, and if you will have a moment's patience, you will see how the ideas which he put into my head served to start me on my extraordinary adventure.

My endeavor has been to tell a simple story, preserving as closely as possible the spirit and feeling of the original. I have tried, as it were, to take the play to pieces, and build a novel out of the same material. I have not felt at liberty to embellish M. Brieux's ideas, and I have used his dialogue word for word wherever possible. Unless I have mis-read the author, his sole purpose in writing LES AVARIES was to place a number of most important facts before the minds of the public, and to drive them home by means of intense emotion. If I have been able to assist him, this bit of literary carpentering will be worth while. I have to thank M. Brieux for his kind permission to make the attempt, and for the cordial spirit which he has manifested.

100%: The Story Of A Patriot tells the story of Peter Gudge, a poor young man who becomes embroiled in industrial spying and sabotage. Said to be based upon a real case of a bombing in San Francisco, Peter's tale is compelling reading. Originally published by the author himself, this is the story of a young man's descent into fear and corruption, and eventual happy redemption. excerpt: "Now and then it occurs to one to reflect upon what slender threads of accident depend the most important circumstances of his life; to look back and shudder, realizing how close to the edge of nothingness his being has come. A young man is walking down the street, quite casually, with an empty mind and no set purpose; he comes to a crossing, and for no reason that he could tell he takes the right hand turn instead of the left; and so it happens that he encounters a blue-eyed girl, who sets his heart to beating. He meets the girl, marries her-and she became your mother. But now, suppose the young man had taken the left hand turn instead of the right, and had never met the blue-eyed girl; where would you be now, and what would have become of those qualities of mind which you consider of importance to the world, and those grave affairs of business to which your time is devoted?"

"Jimmie," said Lizzie, "couldn't we go see the pictures?" And Jimmie set down the saucer of hot coffee which he was in the act of adjusting to his mouth, and stared at his wife. He did not say anything; in three years and a half as a married man he had learned that one does not always say everything that comes into one's mind. But he meditated on the abysses that lie between the masculine and feminine intellects. That it should be possible for anyone to wish to see a movie idol leaping into second-story windows, or being pulled from beneath flying express trains, on this day of destiny, this greatest crisis in history!

The Pot Boiler: A Comedy in Four Acts by Upton Sinclair

"Perhaps you have heard your father speak of me?" asked the Major, eagerly; and Montague answered, "A thousand times." He was tempted to add that the vision that rose before him was of a stout gentleman hanging in a grape-vine, while a whole battery of artillery made him their target. Perhaps it was irreverent, but that was what Montague had always thought of, ever since he had first laughed over the tale his father told. It had happened one January afternoon in the Wilderness, during the terrible battle of Chancellorsville, when Montague's father had been a rising young staff-officer, and it had fallen to his lot to carry to Major Thorne what was surely the most terrifying order that ever a cavalry officer received. It was in the crisis of the conflict, when the Army of the Potomac was reeling before the onslaught of Stonewall Jackson's columns. There was no one to stop them-and yet they must be stopped, for the whole right wing of the army was going. So that cavalry regiment had charged full tilt through the thickets, and into a solid wall of infantry and artillery.

Mental Radio is a book written by Upton Sinclair, an American writer and social reformer. The book is a collection of experiments and observations conducted by Sinclair and his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, on telepathy and psychic phenomena. The Sinclairs conducted these experiments by sending and receiving mental messages between themselves, with Mary acting as the sender and Upton as the receiver. The book describes in detail their experiences and the various techniques they used to communicate telepathically. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is an introduction to the concept of telepathy and the Sinclairs' personal experiences with it. It also includes a brief history of psychic research and the scientific theories behind telepathy. The second part of the book is a collection of transcripts of the mental messages that Mary sent to Upton, along with his responses. Mental Radio was first published in 1930 and caused a stir in the scientific community. Some researchers praised the book for its contribution to the study of psychic phenomena, while others dismissed it as unscientific and unreliable. Despite the controversy, Mental Radio remains a classic in the field of parapsychology and continues to be studied by researchers and enthusiasts alike.This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
