The Jungle (NBM)

    (NBM, 1991, 2004, 2026)

The Jungle, the most popular and influential of all of Upton Sinclair’s novels, recounts the shocking tale of immigrant Jurgis Rudkus and his family, who find themselves at the mercy of a brutal system in the stockyards of Chicago. The book’s exposure of the dangerous, unsanitary conditions in the meat-packing industry created a public furor that led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Peter Kuper’s powerful imagery captures the mood and atmosphere of Sinclair’s dramatic story through a bold interplay of art and text.
