Table of ContentsReviewsA great and well-balanced design...I think it the completest and most faithful portrait of that period that has been done or will likely be done. -- H. G. Wells, praise for the series Few works of fiction are more fun to read; fewer still make history half as clear, or as human. -- Time, praise for the series These historical novels engulfed me in the thrilling and terrible imperatives of history...Sinclair's historical acumen and his calculations about powerful institutions--government, press, corporations, oil cartels, and lobbyists--remain remarkably shrewd and often prescient. -- New York Times, praise for the series When people ask me what has happened in my long lifetime, I do not refer them to the newspaper files and to the authorities, but to [Upton Sinclair's] novels. -- George Bernard Shaw, praise for the series Author InformationUpton Sinclair (1878-1968) was a journalist, a prominent social and political activist, and the author of over two dozen books, including the novel Dragon's Teeth, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1943. He is perhaps best known for The Jungle, the dramatic expos� of the Chicago meat-packing industry that prompted the investigation by Theodore Roosevelt that culminated in the pure-food legislation of 1906. Bronson Pinchot, Audible's Narrator of the Year for 2010, has won Publishers Weekly Listen-Up Awards, AudioFile Earphones Awards, Audible's Book of the Year Award, and Audie Awards for several audiobooks, including Matterhorn, Wise Blood, Occupied City, and The Learners. A magna cum laude graduate of Yale, he is an Emmy- and People's Choice-nominated veteran of movies, television, and Broadway and West End shows. His performance of Malvolio in Twelfth Night was named the highlight of the entire two-year Kennedy Center Shakespeare Festival by the Washington Post. He attended the acting programs at Shakespeare & Company and Circle-in-the-Square, logged in well over 200 episodes of television, starred or costarred in a bouquet of films, plays, musicals, and Shakespeare on Broadway and in London, and developed a passion for Greek revival architecture.
