“Upton Sinclair was the first to admit that his muckraking novel, The Jungle, missed its mark. “I aimed at the public’s heart,” said the author. “By accident, I hit it in the stomach.”

The 1906 novel tells the story of the Rudkus family, Lithuanian immigrants freshly arrived in turn-of-the-century Chicago. Soon the family comes across a smooth-talking real estate agent who speaks their native tongue and assures them the quickest route to financial freedom is home ownership.”
