SINCLAIR, Upton (1878-1968). The Jungle. New York: The Jungle Publishing Co., 1906.
8vo. 3pp. publisher’s advertisements. Original green pictorial cloth (rubbed, particularly at extremities).
FIRST EDITION, WITH SUSTAINER’S EDITION LABEL. Sinclair's novel portrays the harsh conditions faced by exploited immigrant workers in Chicago.
