  • Résumé : "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair is a poignant exploration of the harsh realities faced by immigrants in the early 20th century, particularly in the meatpacking industry of Chicago. The novel begins with the wedding of Jurgis Rudkus and Ona Lukoszaite, Lithuanian immigrants who are filled with hope and dreams for a better life in America. However, their optimism is quickly shattered as they encounter the brutal working conditions and exploitation prevalent in the stockyards. Jurgis, a strong and determined man, initially believes that hard work will lead to success, but he soon discovers the systemic corruption and inhumane practices that trap workers in poverty. The narrative delves into the personal and social struggles of the Rudkus family, highlighting issues such as unsafe labor conditions, economic instability, and the lack of workers' rights. Sinclair's vivid depiction of the meatpacking industry serves as a critique of capitalism and a call for social reform. Through the trials and tribulations of Jurgis and his family, "The Jungle" exposes the dark underbelly of the American Dream and advocates for change to improve the lives of the working class.
