was a prolific American author who wrote over 90 books in many genres and was widely considered to be one of the best investigators advocating socialist views and supporting anarchist causes, he achieved considerable popularity in the first half of the 20th century. He gained particular fame for his novel, The Jungle (1906), which dealt with conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry and caused a public uproar that partly contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.[1]

In this powerful book we enter the world ofJurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrivesin America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom,and opportunity. And we discover, with him, theastonishing truth about "packingtown," thebusy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, wherenew world visions perish in a jungle of humansuffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the"muckraking" novel, here explores the workingman'slot at the turn of the century: the backbreakinglabor, the injustices of "wage-slavery,"the bewildering chaos of urban life. TheJungle , a story so shocking that itlaunched a government investigation, recreates thisstartling chapter if our history in unflinchingdetail. Always a vigorous champion on political reform,Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his1906 novel stands as one of the most important --and moving -- works in the literature of socialchange.

評分我猜,很多讀瞭《動物農場》和《1984》的人,會極端痛恨SOCIALISM。他們痛恨的,實際上是集權主義,卻把怒火錯誤的投嚮瞭奧威爾一直嚮往的民主社會主義。 另外,學過現在的顯學——經濟學的人,很有可能會被主流觀點所誤導,認為隻要工資等價格要素可以自由浮動,産品市場就可...
評分1.食品安全 很不幸,作為一個食品專業的同學。我從來也沒有到過屠宰場去參觀過。 唯一對屠宰有印象的事情,就是在《食品原料學》的課上看過一次屠宰豬和牛的視頻。誠然,那不是什麼好印象。全班同學,由於大部分都是女生,都默默的低頭,不願意注視屏幕上那些豬、那些牛的慘狀...
評分19年的3月19日想讀這本書,是因為這本書涉及食品安全有關。 因為網上買不到書,隻好去浙江圖書館藉瞭該書。沒想到作者的文采非常好,看書的前半部讓我感覺是看瞭一部恐怖小說,小說裏描述的生活環境、工作環境秒殺瞭夾邊溝等任何一本我看過的書,讓我第一次深刻的感受到“水深...

一場悲劇。
評分It's not so interesting as what I expected, especially the latter part.
