Do you want to read The Jungle? If so then keep reading...
The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878-1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. Many readers were most concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper. The book depicts working-class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery." Sinclair was considered a muckraker, or journalist who exposed corruption in government and business. He first published the novel in serial form in 1905 in the Socialist newspaper, Appeal to Reason, between February 25, 1905, and November 4, 1905. In 1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering information while working incognito in the meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for the newspaper. It was published as a book on February 26, 1906, by Doubleday and in a subscribers' edition.

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.
