Book excerpt: Upton Sinclair's dramatic and deeply moving story exposed the brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards at the turn of the nineteenth century and brought into sharp moral focus the appalling odds against which immigrants and other working people struggled for their share of the American dream. Denounced by the conservative press as an un-American libel on the meatpacking industry, the book was championed by more progressive thinkers, including then President Theodore Roosevelt, and was a major catalyst to the passing of the Pure Food and Meat Inspection act, which has tremendous impact to this day.

Book Synopsis An Empire of Their Own by : Neal Gabler
Download or read book An Empire of Their Own written by Neal Gabler and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-11-17 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, original, and richly entertaining group biography of the Jewish immigrants who were the moving forces behind the creation of America's motion picture industry. The names Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, and Adolph Zucker are giants in the history of contemporary Hollywood, outsiders who dared to invent their own vision of the American Dream. Even to this day, the American values defined largely by the movies of these émigrés endure in American cinema and culture. Who these men were, how they came to dominate Hollywood, and what they gained and lost in the process is the exhilarating story of An Empire of Their Own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UPTON SINCLAIR PRESENTS WILLIAM FOX by UPTON SINCLAIR originally published in 1933. In Tu entytiine Reels with Prologue and Epilogue A Melodrama of Fortune Conflict and Triumph, Packed with ThriOb and Heart Throbs East Side Boy Conquers Fame and Power. The Masters of Millions Envy His Triumph and Hot His Downfall. The Octopus Battles the Fox The Ehid of a Century The Sensation of a Lifetime Never in Screen History has there been a Feature so Stupendous as this. An Inside Story a Firsthand Revelation of Politics and Finance, with a Ten Billion Dollar Cast of Statesmen and Financiers. At the same time a Story for the Family, tense and moving, with Love, loyalty and a womans soul. A Romance so fine, so true, so loaded with laughter and tears that none can resist it- FLOYD DELL REPORTS TO A NEW YORK PUBLISHER. I think this is a very important book. First, because it tells what a man important to his times thinks about himself. Second, because of the importance of the war between the financiers and the organizers in this motion picture field. Third, because of the immense human interest and enthralling excitement of the story. There has never been a book on this subject so completely readable by ordinary people. I myself am bored with statistics, I dont like business stories, and I started this book with no hope of ever being able to read it through. It kept me awake all night I could not stop reading it. The story has terrific interest and suspense. Also it hits the public interest of the times right in the center. It will be in every middle class home this winter, and millions of people will be talking about it. It is going to be one of the great literary sensations in the history of American publishing. Upton Sinclairs reputation has survived every exposes he has handled, and no one has ever sued him for libel, He has the goods on people and they know it. There can be no question but that the facts are substantially as the book states them, for these are all matters of court record. The interpretations alone can be questioned. I should say that the only reason for not taking advantage of the greatest opportunity of our times in publishing would be a belief in the actuality of this alleged criminal conspiracy, and the fear that the conspiracy would extend to the point of a criminal attempt to punish and wreck the publisher who put Foxs case before the public. Or have the bankers burned their fingers enough in this Fox business without attempting illegitimate inter ference In the end it would be useless, for the book will be published and they cant stop it This is the most exciting book I have read for years It adds a new and significant figure to American industrial biography. It is destined to an immense popularity, and it will make Uptom Sinclair the most widely read author in America, It will be in front page headlines, and a Congressional inquiry may keep It there for weeks or months. The films are dear to the heart of America. Contents include: PROLOGUE ...........

This book was released on 2015-04-12 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hold on to your hats for a ride through the injustices of 1900s America courtesy of Upton Sinclair, (1878 - 1968), an American author and commentator who wrote nearly 100 books. Not only did he write amazing stories and expose dreadful truths, he changed America for good, the public uproar resulting from his books caused Laws to be passed and greater justice was the outcome. In 'The Jungle' we meet a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America, hoping to find the land of opportunity. He works in the Chicago stockyards, where he finds himself treated as a slave; he has, in fact, arrived in a jungle of human suffering. 'King Coal' charts the lives and deaths of coal miners in the Western United States in the early 1900s. Americans and immigrants are working as slaves. It is up to them to fight back. In 'The Metropolis' we find another side of the early 1900's - a time when the rich were carefree and enjoyed life because it was one endless party. We meet the people with immense fortunes and an endless supply of money who need to spend, spend, spend to keep up with their contemporaries. It may be set in the 1900s but it is scarily similar to the lives of modern day celebrities. 'The Moneychangers' follows another section of society - those who worked on Wall Street. Motivated by greed and pride, an immense power struggle is played out that eventually leads to the stockmarket crash and runs on the banks. Starting out harmlessly enough, this sad story escalates into malicious double crossing, back stabbing and ends with broken people and America in economic disaster. Again, the parallels to our own times are evident. To finish this epic set of books there is the novel, 'They Call Me Carpenter'. Jesus steps out of a stained-glass window, unsure as to whether church is the right place for him any more. And so starts the story of 'Mr Carpenter' encountering people as he did in the Gospels - modern day equivalents of the same people, places and issues. Christianity is brought to life in this vivid novel. Shockingly, Mr Carpenter is concerned with the outcast and the plight of the poor and is sickened by the privileged who add to the abuses of the poor. Mr Carpenter gets a similar reception in this novel as Jesus receives in the Gospels. It really is a must-read.
