Publisher Comments:

In this powerful book we enter the world of    Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrives    in America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom,     and opportunity. And we discover, with him, the    astonishing truth about " packingtown, " the    busy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, where    new world visions perish in a jungle of human    suffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the    " muckraking" novel, her explores the workingman's    lot at the turn of the century: the backbreaking    labor, the injustices of " wage-slavery, "     the bewildering chaos of urban life. The    Jungle, a story so shocking that it    launched a government investigation, recreates this    startling chapter if our history in unflinching    detail. Always a vigorous champion on political reform,     Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his    1906 novel stands as one of the most important --    and moving — works in the literature of social    change.

Synopsis:

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is a vivid portrait of life and death in a turn-of-the-century American meat-packing factory. A grim indictment that led to government regulations of the food industry, The Jungle is Sinclair's extraordinary contribution to literature and social reform.

I read this book several years ago and I haven't looked at meat the same way since. It's a painful look the very hard life faced by immigrants and the shocking conditions found in meat-packing plants around the beginning of the 20th century. Highly recommended.
