“Into this wild-beast tangle these men had been born without their consent, they had taken part in it because they could not help it; that they were in jail was no disgrace to them, for the game had never been fair, the dice were loaded...” - #UptonSinclair (born: 20 September 1878)

I've known about the impact of #TheJungle on law/social policy for yrs. But I just read it for the 1st time.I've never fully appreciated just how powerful & painful a read it is. #UptonSinclair wasn't Dreiser or Fitzgerald or Steinbeck, but his depiction of immigrant exploitation is agonizing.

Gegen Ende wird's dann doch ein wenig sentimental in U. Sinclairs "Petroleum": Insgesamt aber doch lesbar. Und angesichts der us-amerikanischen Zustände durchaus aktuell: Korruption allüberall, Geldgier - und je reicher und skrupelloser desto größer der Erfolg. Insofern wäre Harding auch 100 […]
Die Lektüre von Upton Sinclairs "Petroleum" ist bislang eine eher positive Überraschung. Nach dem etwas durchwachsenen Lesevergnügen der "Römischen Vision" waren meine Erwartungen gering: Aber die Figuren sind weniger schablonenhaft, klischeebehafte als in der "Vision". Dass ein offen mit der […]
