About this product

Product Information

&&LIThe Jungle&&L/I, by &&LSTRONGUpton Sinclair&&L/B, is part of the &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I&&LI &&L/Iseries, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics&&L/I: New introductions commissioned from todays top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the readers viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriate All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. &&LIBarnes & Noble Classics &&L/Ipulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each readers understanding of these enduring works.&&LSTRONG&&L/B &&LSTRONGUpton Sinclair&&L/B's muckraking masterpiece &&LIThe Jungle&&L/I centers on Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant working in Chicago's infamous Packingtown. Instead of finding the American Dream, Rudkus and his family inhabit a brutal, soul-crushing urban jungle dominated by greedy bosses, pitiless con-men, and corrupt politicians. &&LPWhile Sinclair's main target was the industry's appalling labor conditions, the reading public was most outraged by the disgusting filth and contamination in American food that his novel exposed. As a result, President Theodore Roosevelt demanded an official investigation, which quickly led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug laws. For a work of fiction to have such an impact outside its literary context is extremely rare. (At the time of &&LIThe Jungle&&L/I's publication in 1906, the only novel to have led to social change on a similar scale in America was &&LIUncle Tom's Cabin&&L/I.) &&LPToday, &&LIThe Jungle&&L/I remains a relevant portrait of capitalism at its worst and an impassioned account of the human spirit facing nearly insurmountable challenges.&&L/P&&LP&&LBMaura Spiegel&&L/B teaches literature and film at Columbia University and Barnard College. She is the coauthor of &&LIThe Grim Reader and The Breast Book: An Intimate and Curious History&&L/I. She coedits &&LILiterature and Medicine&&L/I, a journal.&&L/P
