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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the novel that Upton Sinclair used to show horrific practices in the meatpacking industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Like most of Sinclair, the book ultimately becomes a paen to socialism. But the man could write, whatever his politics were, and ewww , the meatpackers were up to no damn good at all anyway. Highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aegypan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598182378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Upton Sinclair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824482750645,"sku":"9781598182378","price":33.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e9a09906-ca58-4503-9d15-14766bac62c7.jpg?v=1680619692","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-jungle-by-upton-sinclair-fiction-classics-9781598182378","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
