The Jungle - $2.99
by Upton Sinclair
Sinclair tells the story of a family of Lithuanian immigrants faced with the unexpected cruelty of life in the stockyards of Chicago in the late 1800s. Though a fictional tome, The Jungle epitomizes the muckraking tradition of early 20th-century American journalism, with its emphasis on the corruptive effects of industrialization on the average laborer.
