More about the book

The graphic novel adaptation vividly illustrates the struggles of immigrants in early 20th-century Chicago's meatpacking industry, highlighting their harsh realities and exploitation. Upton Sinclair's original 1906 novel not only exposed these conditions but also spurred significant social reform, including the Pure Food and Drug Act. Kristina Gehrmann's adaptation revitalizes Sinclair's powerful narrative through striking illustrations, offering readers a fresh perspective on a story that remains relevant in discussions about labor rights and food safety today.
