Omschrijving

Upton Sinclair, an American journalist, and author published The Jungle in 1906. The story depicts the difficult circumstances and exploited lives of immigrants in the country. The sections that exposed health infractions and unhygienic procedures in the American meat packing industry in the early 20th century upset many readers more. Ona Lukoszaite, Jurgis Rudkus' girlfriend of fifteen years, exchanged vows during a festive traditional Lithuanian wedding feast. They just relocated to Chicago with their extended family. Jurgis initially had high hopes for his future in Chicago. He is quickly employed by a meatpacking plant and is astounded by its effectiveness while seeing the mistreatment of animals. Despite the fact that they are frequently unwell, they cannot afford to miss work. Only his mother mourns the death of the youngster with special needs who was the youngest kid and died of food poisoning. Ona suffers injuries during childbirth and passes away shortly after. Jurgis learns that his home has been renovated and sold to a different family after serving his jail sentence. Despite being on a blacklist, Jurgis and Ona strive to find employment. Jurgis assists Duane in robbing a wealthy guy. Rats had devoured Stanislovas, who had overindulged in alcohol and passed out at work. Marija claims that because of her heroin addiction, she is unable to leave the brothel.
