Sinopsis

Behind every product lies a hidden cost—human lives, broken dreams, and silent suffering.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a bold, eye-opening novel that exposed the shocking conditions of meatpacking plants and the brutality of industrial capitalism in early 20th-century America. Told through the tragic journey of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who seeks the American dream and finds only exploitation, this landmark work sparked national outrage and catalyzed food safety laws.

More than a novel, The Jungle is a wake-up call on labor rights, corporate greed, and the resilience of the human spirit.

💬 "A novel that changed America's laws and conscience forever."

🧾 Why This Classic Still Matters:
A pillar of muckraking journalism and political fiction

Ideal for fans of 1984, Steinbeck, and Sinclair Lewis

Required reading for history, sociology, and economic policy courses

    The Paris conference was supposed to be the biggest moment of investment banker Adam Macias's career, a chance to impress his CEO and rub shoulders with their firm's top investors. Instead, Adam arrives at a glamorous rooftop party in time to see his CEO—and his career—go up in flames when a dangerous conflagration interrupts the event. 
     
     
     
    Now Adam is a suspect in the investigation into the life-threatening arson. After all, he'd used his ID to let a suspicious woman past a security checkpoint and up to the roof just moments before the fire broke out. With the French police circling, Adam finds himself suddenly jobless and the one woman who could provide him with an alibi, his best friend and coworker Jenn, isn't returning his calls. 
     
     
     
    Adam knows that only the mysterious woman from the party can save him but, once he finally finds her, he discovers a whole new world of trouble. There's a deadly and powerful syndicate operating in the shadows of the City of Lights, and now that organization has a target on Adam's back. Lucky for him, his new companion has the instincts of a killer . . .

    The "master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries" sends his Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    If Alison Girling, former principal of England's Holm Coultram College, died in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel's suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs for secrets, the dirtier they get in this "steadily, edgily amusing . . . dark comedy" (Kirkus Reviews).
