Summary

"The Jungle" follows the story of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant, and his family as they struggle to survive in the brutal and unforgiving environment of Chicago's meatpacking district. The narrative explores themes of capitalism, socialism, corruption, and the plight of the working class. The novel's vivid and disturbing depictions of the meatpacking industry had a significant impact on public opinion and led to important reforms, including the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.
