Book excerpt: A compelling graphic novel adaptation of Upton Sinclair's seminal protest novel that brings to life the harsh conditions and exploited existences of immigrants in Chicago's meatpacking industry in the early twentieth century. Long acclaimed around the world, Upton Sinclair's 1906 muckraking novel The Jungle remains a powerful book even today. Not many works of literature can boast that their publication brought about actual social and labor change, but that's just what The Jungle did, as it led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. In today's society, where labor and safety of the food we eat remain key concerns for all, Sinclair's shocking story still resonates. Bringing new life and energy to this classic work, adapter and illustrator Kristina Gehrmann takes Sinclair's prose and transforms it through pen and ink, allowing you to discover (or rediscover) this book and see it from a whole new perspective.

Download or read book Upton Sinclair, the Lithuanian Jungle written by Giedrius Subačius and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2006 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his legendary novel The Jungle (1905 and 1906), Upton Sinclair included a conspicuous number of Lithuanian words, phrases and surnames. This volume is the first attempt to analyze aspects of Lithuanian linguistic and historical data from The Jungle. Sinclair discovered the Lithuanian language in Chicago and explored it with pleasure. He even confessed to having sang in Lithuanian. If you look for "a Lithuanian linguist" working in field-research conditions in Chicago's Back of the Yards--there is Upton Sinclair! The book targets Sinclair's motives for choosing Lithuanian characters, his sources and his work methods in "field-research" conditions in Chicago. Some real-life individuals--Lithuanian name-donors for the protagonists of The Jungle--are presented in this volume. Certain details of the turn-of-the-century Chicago depicted in The Jungle are also revealed--for example, the saloon where the actual Lithuanian wedding feast took place and its owner. This volume is of interest to American literary historians, sociolinguists, language historians, and those interested in the history of Lithuanian immigration to America and the immigrant experience in Chicago.

Book excerpt: “Practically alone among the American writers of his generation, [Sinclair] put to the American public the fundamental questions raised by capitalism in such a way that they could not escape them.” —Edmund Wilson When it was first published in 1906, The Jungle exposed the inhumane conditions of Chicago’s stockyards and the laborer’s struggle against industry and “wage slavery.” It was an immediate bestseller and led to new regulations that forever changed workers’ rights and the meatpacking industry. A direct descendant of Dickens’s Hard Times, it remains the most influential workingman’s novel in American literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man must confront a terrifying evil in this captivating horror novel that's "as much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz."* Haunted by memories of the Great War, failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate--the Savoyard Plantation--and the horrors that occurred there. At first their new life seems to be everything they wanted. But under the facade of summer socials and small-town charm, there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice. It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of the Savoyard Plantation still stand. Where a long-smoldering debt of blood has never been forgotten. Where it has been waiting for Frank Nichols....

Book excerpt: The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery." Sinclair was considered a muckraker, or journalist who exposed corruption in government and business. In 1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering information while working incognito in the meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for the newspaper. He first published the novel in serial form in 1905 in the Socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason and it was published as a book by Doubleday in 1906.

Book excerpt: In this powerful book we enter the world of Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom, and opportunity. And we discover, with him, the astonishing truth about "packingtown," the busy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, where new world visions perish in a jungle of human suffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the "muckraking" novel, here explores the workingman's lot at the turn of the century: the backbreaking labor, the injustices of "wage-slavery," the bewildering chaos of urban life.

ABOUT THE BOOK IIn researching this book, Upton Sinclair spent several weeks undercover working in the meatpacking industry. His book, The Jungle, which was published in 1906, was written as a composite of figures and fates he encountered. He was called a muckraker in dredging up the truth about the meatpacking industry, and would expose many other social injustices in nearly 90 other books. The awareness he brought, reaching readers emotions in this book are held partially responsible for the passing of The Pure Food and Drug Act and The Meat Inspection Act by President Theodore Roosevelt and Congress.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The Jungle traces the story of a family from Lithuania who emigrated to the United States seeking wealth. They come as a couple to be married, an elderly father, a strong large woman, an aunt with several children, some of whom are crippled, and a single, middle-aged man. Together they pool their money and set out together to navigate a foreign country without any English, personal connections, or know-how in this new society. The book can be divided into three parts, which Ive titled Dreams and Disillusionment (1), Deal with the Devil: Fend for Yourself (2), and Rebirth of Hope Through Socialism (3). In the first section, the family arrives in Ellis Island in New York, makes their way to Chicago, and then step-by-step deals with every possible wrong turn and misfortune as they try to build their new lives and survive. The readers hope for the family is likewise dashed, as each characters misfortune weakens their sense of wholeness and connection to their love for one another. The story opens with a scene representing a crossroads in which hope and tradition of a couple getting married are pitted against a scenario in which the celebrants take advantage of the innocent for their own benefit, leaving the couple in debt. Old world traditions and hopes. New world greed and disillusionment. The Lithuanian wedding is put on with food and drink offered to the guests, and then guests in turn are meant to offer up a sizable donation to start the couple off on their new lives. Instead, the bartender finds a way to cheat the couple by beginning with one keg half empty and ending with one half full and charging for two kegs; the guests manage to slip outside with their stomachs full and not return, thus avoiding the financial gift they are obligated to offer in good will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jungle is the story of Jurgis Rudkus and his family, Lithuanian immigrants who come to America to paintings inside the meatpacking flowers of Chicago. Their story is a tale of complication. They face good sized difficulties: harsh and dangerous working situations, poverty and starvation, unjust businessmen who take their money, and corrupt politicians who create legal guidelines that permit all of this to appear. The story follows the hardships of Jurgis and his own family and the transformation that Jurgis undergoes while he accepts the new political and economic revolution of socialism.The novel begins at the marriage of Jurgis and Ona Rudkus. Marija Berczynskas, a strong and commanding woman, directs the marriage and Tamoszius Kuszleika offers track along with his violin. Although Tamoszius's "notes are by no means true, and his fiddle buzzes at the low ones and squeaks and scratches at the excessive," he is the celebrity of the wedding. Everyone in the slums of Packingtown is invited, and they are presupposed to pay tribute to the family. Many do not, however, and this leaves Jurgis and Ona deeply in debt on the first day of their marriage.Jurgis and Ona got here from the geographical region of Lithuania. Because Jurgis and Ona had been now not allowed to marry in Lithuania and due to the fact Ona's father dies, leaving them with little money, Jurgis makes a decision to move his and Ona's own family to America. Jonas, Jurgis's brother, tells them of a chum who made a fortune in Chicago and they determine to head there. Upon arriving in America, however, they discover that whilst the wages are better, so are the expenses. Several retailers and thieves scam them while they arrive, and shortly much of their cash is long gone.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Jungle by Upton Sinclair The Jungle is a novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair. Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of meat packing industries in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. However, most readers were more concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, greatly contributing to a public outcry which led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair famously said of the public reaction "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach." The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."

He first published the novel in serial form in 1905 in the Socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason and it was published as a book by Doubleday in 1906.Plot: The main character in the book is Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant trying to make ends meet in Chicago. The book begins with his and Ona's wedding feast. He and his family live near the stockyards and meatpacking district, where many immigrants work who do not know much English. He takes a job at Brown's slaughterhouse. Rudkus had thought the US would offer more freedom, but he finds working conditions harsh. He and his young wife struggle to survive. They fall deeply into debt and are prey to con men. Hoping
