Seldom has a book been the subject of more widespread discussion than The Jungle. It is the
dramatic expos of the Chicago meat-packing industry at the turn of the century which prompted an investigation by
Theodore Roosevelt, culminating in the pure-food legislation of 1906.

The Jungle is the story of Jurgis Rudkus, a Slav immigrant, who marries frail Ona Lukoszaite and seeks security
and happiness as a workman in the Chicago stockyards. Once there, he is abused by foremen, real-estate sharks filch
his meager savings, and at every turn he is plagued by the misfortunes arising from poverty, poor work conditions, and
disease. Finally, in accordance with Sinclair's own creed, Rudkus turns to Socialism as his way out.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
