The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel follows Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant, and his family as they are crushed by brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards. Its revelations about meatpacking so shocked the public that they helped bring about the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair said he aimed at the public's heart and by accident hit its stomach.
