Описание: Upton Sinclair's classic revelatory novel about turn-of-the-century business and immigrant labor practices.
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.
Upton Sinclair's vivid depiction of the horrors of Chicago's 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.
Includes an Introduction by Alicia Mischa Renfroe and an Afterword by Dr.
Barry Sears

Upton Sinclair's First Novel
It is very rare that a novel by a major American author is not published as a book for over a century after it was written, so we are proud to be the first to publish Upton Sinclair's earliest full-length novel in book form.
Upton Sinclair became famous as a "muckraker," a journalist and novelist who exposed the seamy side of the American economy. He is most famous for his novel The Jungle (1906), an expose of the meatpacking industry that was so effective that the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act were passed a few months after it was published.
But he began by writing very different sorts of works. He supported himself in college by writing boys' adventure stories and "dime novels," which were actually forty-eight-page adventure stories for boys rather than full-length novels.
After graduating in 1897, he began writing novels that were serialized in pulp magazines. The first, In the Net of the Visconti, appeared in The Argosy magazine from July 1899 through November 1899.
His subsequent novels, beginning with King Midas (1901), were published as books, were critically well-received, and are still available. But In the Net of the Visconti did not appear as a book, has not been available until now, and is not even mentioned in many biographies of Sinclair.
It is not only a well-plotted novel but is also a page-turned. As The Argosy summarized it, it is:
A tale of the time of the Italian Renaissance. The thrilling experiences of Tito Bentivogli, son to the Duke of Bologna, who is captured while on a hunting trip by Galeazzo, the hereditary enemy of his house. Plot, Counterplot, and a matching of cunning against cunning in a game of which one player's life is the stake.

Описание: This novel about the horrors of working in the meat-packing industry outraged people so much that new laws were established. Sinclair felt that this outrage missed the point. He was concerned about the welfare of the workers, not the quality of the food.

Turning his muckraking talents to journalism itself, Upton Sinclair exposes a variety of the news media's ingrained biases and its agenda-serving corruption.
In his famous book The Jungle, Upton Sinclair became famous for exposing filthy and inhumane conditions in the American meat packing industry at the turn of the 20th century. Following these revelations, new laws were made protecting factory workers and the conditions they labored in. Sinclair afterwards became a figure for condemnation - his personal life was scrutinized and made the subject of spurious gossip and rumor, the cause being that the vast majority of newspaper corporations opposed his pro-worker, pro-regulation views.
The title of this book alludes to a common practice in brothels: those frequenting these establishments would buy 'brass checks' to hand to the woman of their choice. Sinclair draws a parallel between such customers and the proprietors of the media, who delegate the promotion of their political, financial and social agendas to journalists willing to propagate such ideas.
Drawing on experiences of his own and of others, Sinclair presents here a convincing litany of claims backed by evidence, against a mass media corrupted by narrow special interests and their funds. He proposes several solutions; namely a law that corrections be given equal prominence to lies, and the unionization of reporters. Though The Brass Check was widely - and wrongly - condemned for inaccuracy in the years following its publication in 1919, it is today considered a prescient account of close relations between powerful corporations and the mass media.

Описание: Had Upton Sinclair not written a single book after The Jungle, he would still be famous. But Sinclair was a mere twenty-five years old when he wrote The Jungle, and over the next sixty-five years he wrote nearly eighty more books and won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction. He was also a filmmaker, labor activist, women's rights advocate, and health pioneer on a grand scale. This new biography of Sinclair underscores his place in the American story as a social, political, and cultural force, a man who more than any other disrupted and documented his era in the name of social justice.Upton Sinclair: California Socialist, Celebrity Intellectual shows us Sinclair engaged in one cause after another, some surprisingly relevant today—the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, the depredations of the oil industry, the wrongful imprisonment of the Wobblies, and the perils of unchecked capitalism and concentrated media. Throughout, Lauren Coodley provides a new perspective for looking at Sinclair's prodigiously productive life. Coodley's book reveals a consistent streak of feminism, both in Sinclair's relationships with women—wives, friends, and activists—and in his interest in issues of housework and childcare, temperance and diet. This biography will forever alter our picture of this complicated, unconventional, often controversial man whose whole life was dedicated to helping people understand how society was run, by whom, and for whom.
