Description

Enter the provocative world of "They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of the Second Coming" by Upton Sinclair. Set in post-World War I America, this satirical novel follows the miraculous appearance of a carpenter, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jesus Christ, on the streets of Western City. As he confronts greed, corruption, and social injustice, his teachings spark both inspiration and outrage. Sinclair's compelling narrative challenges societal norms and explores the enduring quest for spiritual and moral awakening, making it a thought-provoking read.

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.
