About this book

In the bustling heart of early 20th-century Chicago, "Chikago: Nykyajan romaani" by Upton Sinclair unveils the stark realities faced by Eastern European immigrants. As Jurgis Rudkus strives for the American Dream, he encounters the brutal exploitation of labor and the relentless grip of poverty. This powerful narrative captures the essence of industrial America, highlighting the struggles for dignity and survival amid corruption and greed. With vivid depictions of sweatshops and the harsh living conditions of the working class, Sinclair's work serves as a poignant critique of capitalism. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this novel invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of immigration and labor rights in contemporary society.
