February Meeting 2 - The Jungle (Upton Sinclair)

In February's second meeting, the book will be Upton Sinclair's 1906 classic, The Jungle. 'One of the most powerful, provocative and enduring novels to expose social injustice ever published in the United States,' the book is set in the American Midwest at the turn of the 20th century.

'Upton Sinclair's dramatic and deeply moving story exposed the brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards at the turn of the nineteenth century and brought into sharp moral focus the appalling odds against which immigrants and other working people struggled for their share of the American Dream.'
