The Jungle

by Upton Sinclair

When Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in 1906, it caused a national scandal and changed American law. The story of Jurgis Rudkus — a Lithuanian immigrant ground down by the meatpacking industry of Chicago — was intended as an indictment of capitalism and an argument for socialism. What it became was something more immediate and more lasting: one of the most viscerally powerful novels in American literature, a book that made readers feel the weight of systemic injustice in their bones. This Sequoia edition presents Sinclair's complete original text in a beautifully crafted format equal to the novel's enduring stature.
