The Jungle
About the book
Behind every product lies a hidden cost—human lives, broken dreams, and silent suffering.
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a bold, eye-opening novel that exposed the shocking conditions of meatpacking plants and the brutality of industrial capitalism in early 20th-century America. Told through the tragic journey of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who seeks the American dream and finds only exploitation, this landmark work sparked national outrage and catalyzed food safety laws.
More than a novel, The Jungle is a wake-up call on labor rights, corporate greed, and the resilience of the human spirit.
"A novel that changed America's laws and conscience forever."
