Viac o knihe
Focusing on the struggles of immigrants in early 20th-century America, the narrative reveals the grim realities of life in Chicago's meatpacking industry. Through firsthand experiences, the author exposes the exploitation of workers and unsanitary conditions, prompting significant reforms in food safety legislation. Originally intended to advocate for socialism, the novel inadvertently sparked public outrage and policy changes, leading to the enactment of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair's poignant storytelling highlights both social injustice and the power of reform.
