Der litauische Einwanderer Jurgis Rudkus kommt mit seiner Verlobten um 1900 nach Amerika, ins Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten.

Nachdem seine Familie durch mehrere Tragödien zerstört wird und ihre Existenz verliert, ist er gezwungen, auf illegalen Wegen Geld zu verdienen. Nach und nach erkennt er die Notwendigkeit, für Reformen und ein besseres Leben zu kämpfen. Der…

The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by author and socialist journalist Upton Sinclair. It was written about the corruption of the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century. The novel depicts in harsh tones the poverty, absence of social programs, unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness prevalent among the "have-nots", which is contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption on the part of the "haves". The sad state of…

A fellow determined to find the truth for himself about conditions in the mines, runs away from home and adopts the alias "Joe Smith." After being turned away by one coal mine for fear of Hal being a union organizer, he gets a job in another coal mine operated by the General Fuel Company, or GFC. In the mines he befriends many of the workers, and realizes their misery and exploitation at the hands of the bosses. What he found there was abhorrent -- thus begins the tale of unionization and the advocacy workers' rights. Unionization, however, is easier spoken of than it is accomplished. It was a dangerous task -- for the leaders of the coal mines were hardened men, men who would not stop at petty threats and minor violence.

Вы, конечно, всегда думали, что гномов на свете не бывает. Двенадцатилетняя Элизабет тоже так считала, пока не повстречала в калифорнийском лесу юного гнома Бобо и его дедушку Глого. Как выяснилось, гномов осталось совсем-совсем мало, и они не слишком доверяют большим людям — оттого и стараются не показываться им на глаза. Старый Глого все больше замыкается в себе и не на шутку тревожится о судьбе своего угасающего рода. Однако Элизабет и Бобо быстро находят общий язык и придумывают хитроумный план, как не дать погибнуть гномьей цивилизации. Они отправятся на поиски других гномов! А помогут им в этом Родни, молодой и веселый дядюшка…

Upton Sinclair’s classic revelatory novel about turn-of-the-century business and immigrant labor practices. Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant in search of a better life, faces instead an epic struggle for survival. His story of factory life in Chicago in the early twentieth century is a saga of barbarous working conditions, crushing poverty, crime, disease, and despair. Upton Sinclair’s vivid depiction of the horrors of Chicago’s stockyards and slaughterhouses aroused such public indignation that a government investigation was called, eventually resulting in the passage of pure food laws. More than a hundred years later, The…

Originally published in 1906 by Upton Sinclair, THE JUNGLE sent shockwaves throughout the United States that resulted in cries for labor and agricultural reforms. It is indeed rare that a book should have such a political impact, but although Sinclair may have been surprised at the results, it is apparent while reading this novel that his words form a political agenda of its own. It should be noted that Sinclair was a devout Socialist who traveled to Chicago to document the working conditions of the world-famous stockyards. Sinclair originally published this book in serial form in the Socialist newspaper, The Appeal to Reason. But as a…

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is a visceral and tragic story of immigrants trying to scratch out a living in the meatpacking plants of Chicago. The resulting public outcry led directly to the US government enacting changes in food and workplace safety practices still in place today. With food production, business ethics, and immigration back in the news, Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) taps into the emotion behind these issues to breathe life back into the struggling inhabitants of Packingtown. Affleck, a committed vegan and animal rights spokesman, delivers a moving performance that connects with the book’s enduring…
