Overview

The Jungle prompted the immediate passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and launched Upton Sinclair's career as a champion of the working class.This quintessential muckraking novel changed the course of history with its gruesomely detailed depiction of Chicago's meat-packing industry. By following Lithuanian immigrant Jurgis Rudkus's descent through the brutal, bloody hell of "Packingtown" and Chicago's seamy web of graft and corruption, Sinclair paints an unforgettable picture of the dark side of the American Dream.
