"The Jungle" is a fictional novel written by Upton Sinclair, an American muckraker author, in the early 20th century. The book exposes the corruption in government and business, particularly in the meatpacking industry.

نبذة عن المؤلف
Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) connaît une enfance pauvre et nomade. À vingt ans, il est correspondant de guerre à Cuba. Rendu célèbre par La Jungle, il multiplie les livres coup de poing, dénonçant les tares de la société américaine. Il signe sans doute son chef-d’œuvre en 1927 avec Pétrole !
