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.

This definitive anthology brings together all of William Hope Hodgson’s celebrated stories featuring the brilliant, if eccentric, investigator, Thomas Carnacki.

    Throughout these nine tales, Carnacki is called upon to confront strange forces that defy logic and reason. Armed with his trusty scientific tools, a deep understanding of the occult, and a fearless heart, he investigates everything from spectral hauntings and ghostly apparitions to malevolent spirits and unearthly forces lurking in the shadows. 
    The first six stories were collected in the 1913 anthology, “Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder”, with the latter three appearing in an expanded collection of the same name published in 1947.
