Produktinformationen zu „The Jungle (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
The Jungle butchered the meatpacking industry when it came out in 1906. Exposing the grisly truth of the unsanitary practices that resulted from American wage slavery, the book was "aimed for the public's heart but by accident hit it in the stomach," according to Upton Sinclair. Even with the grossest portions censored out, The Jungle led to the pure-food legislation of 1906 and the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, more recent books in the vein of The Jungle – Ruth L. Ozeki’s My Year of Meats (1999) and Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation (2002), for instance – indicate that the horrific practices still go on.
Autoren-Porträt von Upton Sinclair
As a boy, Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) idolized Jesus Christ and Percy Bysshe Shelley. He had a rough childhood, torn between his poor, alcoholic father and his rich grandparents, that resulted in the socialist views found in The Jungle. Sinclair, whose first novel was Springtime and Harvest (1901), was commissioned by editor Fred Warren of the socialist journal Appeal to Reason to write The Jungle. He continued to write with a socialist bent, publishing more than ninety books, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Dragon’s Teeth (1942), about Nazism.
