He gained particular fame for his novel, The Jungle (1906), which dealt with conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry and caused a public uproar that partly contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.[1]

In this powerful book we enter the world ofJurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrivesin America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom,and opportunity. And we discover, with him, theastonishing truth about "packingtown," thebusy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, wherenew world visions perish in a jungle of humansuffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the"muckraking" novel, here explores the workingman'slot at the turn of the century: the backbreakinglabor, the injustices of "wage-slavery,"the bewildering chaos of urban life. TheJungle , a story so shocking that itlaunched a government investigation, recreates thisstartling chapter if our history in unflinchingdetail. Always a vigorous champion on political reform,Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his1906 novel stands as one of the most important --and moving -- works in the literature of socialchange.

评分首先,书看到了三分之二,也就是他流浪的地方,我就看不下去了,然后维基百科了结局。 首先做着的笔法还是很中肯的,写法等也可以称之为文学。 但是内容实在不敢恭维。情节没有一点蜿蜒曲折,而是直来直去,主要线路就是他受苦,然后变成社会主义。书的钱三分之二纯粹就是怨...
评分 评分19年的3月19日想读这本书,是因为这本书涉及食品安全有关。 因为网上买不到书,只好去浙江图书馆借了该书。没想到作者的文采非常好,看书的前半部让我感觉是看了一部恐怖小说,小说里描述的生活环境、工作环境秒杀了夹边沟等任何一本我看过的书,让我第一次深刻的感受到“水深...
我是真的没有办法喜欢这种类型的小说,所有的人物变化全都像是为了这个剧情走向而扭转的,新闻感太重
