Bag om The Jungle (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a harrowing tale that follows the life of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant, and his family as they navigate the brutal realities of the American Dream in the meatpacking district of Chicago. The novel starkly illustrates the exploitation of immigrant workers, exposing the dangerous working conditions, rampant corruption, and the sheer struggle for survival faced by those at the bottom of the economic ladder. Jurgis's journey reveals the dark underbelly of industrial capitalism, where human lives are secondary to profit. Upton Sinclair's The Jungle sheds light on the egregious conditions within the Chicago meatpacking industry. Drawing from his firsthand investigation, Sinclair intended to advocate for socialism but instead sparked an uproar over food safety and workers' rights, leading to significant reforms. The novel's graphic depiction of the industry's unsanitary practices underscored the power of investigative journalism in effecting social reform, marking a critical moment in the Progressive Era. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
