The 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, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper.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.He first published the novel in serial form in 1905, in the Socialist newspaper, Appeal to Reason, between February 25, 1905 and November 4, 1905. In 1904, Sinclair had spent seven weeks gathering information while working incognito in the meatpacking plants of the Chicago stockyards for the newspaper. It was published as a book on February 26, 1906, by Doubleday and in a subscribers' edition.A film version of the novel was made in 1914, but it has since become lost.

Cheap, unreadable layout for this version

Cheap, unreadable layout for this version
I thought I was buying the standard trade paperback version of this book. Unfortunately, it's a print-on-demand version that is virtually unreadable. It's much larger than standard trade paperbacks, but the 10 point font is crammed onto each page. Bigger pages + smaller type means you literally get lost trying to read line to line. The print also is too close to the gutter, you would have to crack the spine wide open for each page.

Great book. Very informative. Wrote a 12 page paper on it for a class, this book made my paper writing easy. But this book is graphic and you will learn darl things about the history of meat industry.

These arrived quickly and are very fresh. I love this flavor. It has no aftertaste and tastes like you are eating a high fat treat. It is a fantastic option for tasty meal replacement at a reasonable price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clumsy size and difficult to read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020

The book is of a clumsy size for a paperback, very floppy and not comfortable to hold. The print is small and each line is quite long, making it difficult to track to the next line. I read a few chapters and put it in my rummage pile, went to Barnes and Nobles and bought a better version.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a known publishing industry printng from a "real" publisher
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
I returned the book for a refund.

This printing is "print-to-order," where the pages are printed & made into a book at a po-dunk publisher/printer. There was no Library of Congress info & the copyright was when printed, not when written!

The too-small text was printed to the edge of the paper, leaving barely a margin, so when the book was opened, the text was too near to the spine and could hardly be read without having to flatten out the book.

In addition, the large ht x w of the book made for pages heavy w/small text w/little white space between lines and paragraphs within 4 narrow margins.

I had no idea that this book was coming from such a printing company. I think this fact needs to be communicated up-front & center & very clearly in the item's description.

2.0 out of 5 stars You can't tell a book by its cover
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
This handsome looking version of Upton Sinclair has an attractive cover made of good quality material, and nice sturdy pages. Where it fails is that the text itself has been squeezed in very tightly into the allotted pages. Chapters follow on each other with only one line space to separate them, and new paragraphs are not even indented, presumably to save space, making for a text that is hard on the eye and allows not space between the subject, the speaker, or the thinking. The publisher took time to make the book materially sound, but clearly has little respect and no sensitivity for the visual impact of the written page.
