Welcome to Tom's Books and MusicItem:Easton Press - The Jungle by Upton SinclairDescriptionThe Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878-1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants 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."Illustrated by Fletcher Martin10 inches tall, 334 pages, leather hard cover with gilt decorations, ribbon marker, gilt page edges, moire end pagesPublished in 1981 by Easton PressCondition:Very good, cover has very little wear.Interior very good, clean, binding solidTerms:Save on shipping by combining winning auctions.
