The Jungle

The Jungle

Upton Sinclair

In Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Jurgis and his wife Ona, Lithuanian immigrants, come to Chicago in search of the American dream. Harsh living and working conditions take their toll on their family, whose struggle with poverty destroys their dream and forces Jurgis to embrace the Socialist philosophy. The Jungle — often dismissed as political propaganda — survives as Upton Sinclair's poignant and disturbing tale of the hardships immigrants faced in the early 20th century.
