The Jungle - The Shocking Exposé of Immigrant Struggles Corporate Greed and the Fight for Justice in Industrial America

Upton Sinclair, Zenith Ivory Tower Publications

Editora: Zenith Ivory Tower Publications

Sinopse

One book changed the way a nation eats — and awakened a generation to injustice.
The Jungle isn't just a novel. It's a thunderclap in American history.

In this harrowing and unforgettable work, Upton Sinclair tells the story of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who comes to Chicago chasing the American Dream—only to find himself swallowed by the brutal realities of poverty, corruption, and exploitation in the meatpacking industry.

Published in 1906, The Jungle exposed the unsanitary, unsafe, and inhumane conditions of industrial labor. It shocked the public, sparked outrage, and directly led to federal reforms like the Pure Food and Drug Act. But beyond the headlines, Sinclair's story is deeply human—about the resilience of the working class, the cost of capitalism, and the enduring struggle for dignity.

"I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach." — Upton Sinclair
"One of the most important American novels ever written." — The New York Times
"Still painfully relevant in today's conversations about labor, immigration, and inequality." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for readers of political fiction, labor history, or social justice, The Jungle remains a landmark of investigative literature and moral urgency.

Marrying the 70-something head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father is the only good deed I’ve ever done. I’m burning and bitter under the fake smile and tight dresses, but I was keeping it together. 
Was. Until my fiancé’s nephew turns up to dinner uninvited. 
Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with cheekbones as sharp as his tongue. They say I shouldn’t be scared of him, because nine years ago, he went straight. He’s barely a Made Man anymore. 
But I say, he’s the most dangerous Visconti of all. It’s not just because his cold sneer makes my pulse flutter. Or the way his syrupy drawl trickles down my spine. No. He holds all of my sins in his big, rough hands. And the only sins darker than mine are his own. 
Dark mafia romance, forbidden love, age gap, enemies to lovers. 
*** 
Somme’s notes: 
Sinners Anonymous is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers mafia romance. It can be listened to as a stand-alone but believe me, you'll want to devour it with the rest of the trilogy!

In a blinding flash, nuclear bombs annihilate civilization, leaving only a few buried survivors to crawl onto a scorched landscape that was once America. In Manhattan, a homeless woman stumbles from the sewers, guided by the prophecies of a mysterious amulet, and pursued by something wicked; on Idaho’s Blue Dome Mountain, an orphaned boy falls under the influence of depraved survivalists and discovers the value of a killer instinct; and amid the devastating dust storms on the Great Plains of Nebraska, Swan forms a heart-and-soul bond with an unlikely new companion. Soon they will cross paths. But only Swan knows that they must endure more than just a trek across an irradiated country of mutated animals, starvation, madmen, and wasteland warriors. Swan’s visions tell of a coming malevolent force. It’s a shape-shifting embodiment of the apocalypse, and of all that is evil and despairing. And it’s hell-bent on destroying the last hope of goodness and purity in the world. Swan is that hope. Now, she must fight not only for her own survival, but for that of all mankind. A winner of the Bram Stoker Award and a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, Swan Song has become a modern classic, called “a chilling vision that keeps you turning pages to the shocking end” by John Saul and “a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation” by Publishers Weekly.
