A List Of The Best Upton Sinclair Books Ever Published

By Frances Fisher


Mr. Sinclair Junior was born on the twentieth of September in 1878 as an American in Baltimore. In his ninety years of living on earth, he managed to create at least a hundred books under his name. Some of his works are highly regarded pieces of literature, which earned him a Pulitzer award for his strong literary content and writing prose.

While it was centuries ago when his name became widely known, his works are still considered highly influential and important today. During the course of his lifetime, he has created numerous books that continue to be celebrated today. In relation to this, this article will be containing a list of the best Upton Sinclair books ever published to the masses.

The book mentioned in the previous paragraph is called The Jungle, and was meant to be a work of fiction. While the general tone was more of an implication rather than accusatory, it became so widely read that officials began to speculate its meaning and apparent implications. It was due to this that numerous factories were investigated and the brutal working condition of immigrants was exposed to the media and subsequently, the public.

The Return of Lanny Budd is another work of fiction and is part of his Lanny Budd series that he penned. The events in this story details events that occurred to this main character. It took place after the Second World War when Lanny came out of retirement as a professional presidential agent. It is considered as the best narrative ever to come off from his imagination.

King Coal is a novel that often draws comparisons to The Jungle, due to the nature of its contents. Unfortunately, it did not reach the same level of significance to its predecessor but is still a highly interesting read. It details around the brutal working conditions that miners and those working in coal sites were exposed to.

Mental Radio was published by Upton himself and focused mainly on a person in his life. The book was about his wife Mary, during the period where she suffered from a tremendous bout of depression. At this time in her life, she became obsessed with supernatural beliefs and the occult. Albert Einstein himself loved the book and formulated a preface for it for a newer edition.

A novel that contained a historic fiction tale was titled The Filver King, which comprised a hundred and nineteen pages. Despite being fictional, what made it stood out from the rest was the involvement of Henry Ford, a multimillionaire American who was accompanied by Abner, another character. It was meant to expose the way workers were affected by scientific management factory, and Ford was a known businessman who applied such practice to his own factories.

The Fasting Cure delved into the practice of fasting and its cultural and religious significance to society. It is often regarded as a great scholar subject and was recommended into the reading lists of students during its time. With its publication, Upton hoped it would make its way into the school system in Russia.

Mammonart was published in nineteen twenty five and its full is considered an essay on criticisms made towards present literature, using a socialist point of view. It was preceded by The Goslings and Upton himself refers to it as an alternative textbook focusing on culture.
