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