叢林

內容簡介

內容簡介 《叢林》（1906）中對受壓迫的移民工人的描述毫不留情地揭露了二十世紀之交芝加哥肉類加工業的剝削行為，“瞄準了公眾的心，卻意外地……擊中了他們的胃”。 辛克萊對惡臭骯髒的牲畜飼養場的內心描述引發了廣泛的憤怒，並導緻美國第一部消費者保護法的通過，讓《叢林》成為二十世紀最有影響力的小說之一。An unsparing exposé of the exploitative practices of Chicago’s meatpacking industry at the turn of the twentieth century, Upton Sinclair’s account of the downtrodden immigrant workers in The Jungle (1906) “aimed at the public’s heart and by accident…hit it in the stomach.” Sinclair’s visceral description of the fetid and filthy stockyards sparked widespread outrage and led to the passage of the nation’s first consumer protection laws, cementing The Jungle as one of the most influential novels of the twentieth century.
