Description

Young Samuel goes looking for truth in industrial America and finds poverty, exploitation, and the soft lies that keep the machine running. Faith, reform, and hard streets school him. Sinclair?s novel of a seeker waking up, spoken as idealism meeting the factory age head-on.

Author

Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) wrote The Jungle and a long shelf of muckraking novels in which industry is the villain. The Chicago stockyards novel was meant to convert readers to socialism; it converted them to food reform instead — and still stands as American protest fiction at documentary heat. Sinclair kept going: oil, coal, journalism, politics, a career of books used as weapons.
