Description

This book attempts to show what we know about life; to set the bounds of real truth as distinguished from phrases and self-deception. It is divided into four distinct parts: The Book of The Mind, The Book of The Body, The Book of Love, and The Book of Society.

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.
