The Jungle

Behind the promise of opportunity lies a harsh industrial world where survival can come at a devastating cost.

Discover Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, a powerful novel examining poverty, labor, exploitation, immigration, and industrial conditions in early twentieth-century America.

The story follows Jurgis Rudkus and his family as they struggle to build a life in Chicago after immigrating to the United States. Their hopes for prosperity quickly collide with dangerous working conditions, poverty, exploitation, and the harsh realities of industrial labor.

Through the family's experiences, Sinclair exposes the human costs of an economic system that offers little protection to vulnerable workers.

First published in 1906, The Jungle became an influential work of social criticism and contributed to public debate surrounding conditions in the American meatpacking industry.
