Böcker av Upton Sinclair

Upton Sinclair, one of America's foremost writers, addresses the cultivation of the mind and the body in this 1922 volume. Sinclair's goal was to tell the reader how to live, how to find health, happiness and success, and how to develop fully both the mind and the body.

Upton Sinclair was a follower of Bernarr MacFadden's "Physical Culture Movement" and a member of the editorial staff of Physical Culture Magazine. Dedicated to MacFadden, this 1911 volume advocates the benefits of systematic fasting in producing long-lasting health benefits.

Every reader of this refreshing book will go with Sinclair "romping down the vista of the ages, swatting every venerable head that shows itself -- beating the dust out of ancient delusions!" With his acid-dipped pen the famous muckraker leaves no religious edifice standing -- whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, Theosophist, Christian Scientist, or Astrologist!

Sinclair, the prolific socialist author who is best-remembered for his groundbreaking 1906 fictional expose of labor abuses and the American meat-packing industry, The Jungle, began by writing jokes and juvenile adventure stories to finance his education at the City College of New York. Although born to an aristocratic Southern family, Sinclair's father was an alcoholic, so the family's fortunes varied wildly during his youth. A remarkably successful socialist candidate for Governor of California in the 1930s, many of Sinclair's novels revolved around his social concerns. Just as The Jungle was a masterpiece of "muckraking" journalism that led to initial regulation of food safety in the United States, novels like 100%: The Story of a Patriot were fictional responses to Sinclair's real-life social and economic concerns. 100% tells the story of Peter Gudge, a poor young man who becomes embroiled in industrial spying and sabotage.

When an injustice befalls the poor, Allan is the first to fight for what is right. But as he continues his lawsuit, he begins to realize that the very people he's fighting with are the very people who rule New York. He must be wily and careful if he is to survive this pursuit of justice.Upton Sinclair is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Dragon's Teeth. His best known work is The Jungle, a novel about the abhorrent practices of the meat packing industry at the time.

The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."This is the novel that Upton Sinclair used to show horrific practices in the meatpacking industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Like most of Sinclair, the book ultimately becomes a paen to socialism. But the man could write, whatever his politics were, and ewww!, the meatpackers were up to no damn good at all anyway. Highly recommended.

Upton Sinclair is primarily known as the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Jungle, Oil, and Dragon's Teeth, and as a fiery advocate of social justice and reform. Few know, however, of Sinclair's deep interest in, and connection to, psychic research.Sinclair's own wife, Mary Craig Kimbrough, claimed to have "mind reading" or telepathic abilities, and asked Sinclair to help her better understand these abilities. He devised a fascinating series of 300 tests that incontrovertibly proved the reality of telepathy while revealing the vast, untold powers of the mind.In one room, Sinclair would make a drawing and place it into a sealed envelope, while in another, Mary would "tune in," retrieve the image, and make her own copy. Or she would record a telepathic message sent from someone far away. Her accuracy rate was astonishing, leaving no room for random chance as an explanation, as they continued to collect scientific data over three years.In Mental Radio, Sinclair describes remarkable experiments, comparing telepathy to radio broadcasting, with one brain sending out a "vibration" and another picking it up. The results convinced Sinclair that telepathy is real, that it is unaffected by distance, that it can be cultivated, trained and--most importantly--can be verified and studied scientifically.For the first time in many years, here is the complete text of Mental Radio, including Mary Craig Kimbrough's well-tested instructions on how to learn the "art of conscious mind-reading." Here is the classic book that impressed Albert Einstein who, in his preface to Mental Radio, praises Sinclair for being a conscientious observer and writer and for his good faith and dependability in reporting paranormal research. William McDougall, known as the "Dean of American Psychology" at the time, was so inspired by Sinclairs' work that he established the parapsychology department at Duke University, which went on to become, for a time, the country's premier paranormal research institution.

"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 (Sinclair's) novels." -George Bernard Shaw"Practically alone among the American writers of his generation, Sinclair put to the American public the fundamental questions raised by capitalism in such a way that they could not escape them." -Edmund WilsonUpton Sinclair's 1906 bestseller The Jungle is a startling and powerful novel depicting the plight of Jurgis Rudkus, a Slavic worker who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th Century for a better life. His dream of a finding a job, building a family, and buying a home are initially fulfilled in the Union Stock Yards in Chicago. Work in the meatpacking industry proves to be a harrowing and desperate existence, and his personal life is beset by a succession of hardships and tragedy. As bleak as his journey is, Jurgis finally finds his light in a new-found political ideology.The Jungle is considered profoundly important in its exposure of despair at the margins of working-class life, and the atrocious descriptions of the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking process.

सुबह के चार बज रहे थे जब जॉर्ज ड्यूपॉन्ट ने दरवाजा बंद किया और सड़क पर कदमों से नीचे आ गए। भोर की पहली बेहोश लकीरें आकाश में थीं, और उसने झुंझलाहट के साथ इस पर ध्यान दिया, क्योंकि वह जानता था कि उसके बाल अव्यवस्थित थे और उसका पूरा पहलू अव्यवस्थित था; अभी तक उसने एक टैक्सी नहीं लेने की हिम्मत की, क्योंकि उसे घर पर ध्यान आकर्षित करने की आशंका थी। जब वह फुटपाथ पर पहुंचा, तो उसने उसके बारे में यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए उसे देखा कि किसी ने उसे घर से बाहर जाते हुए नहीं देखा है, फिर सड़क पर, उसकी आँखों के सामने फुटपाथ पर शुरू कर दिया।जॉर्ज को सुबह होने का अहसास था। प्रचुर पाप के इस दुनिया में बहुत कम लोग हैं जो यह नहीं जानते होंगे कि वाक्यांश का अर्थ क्या है। रात के धुएं में वाष्पीकरण हो गया था; वह अब काफी शांत था, उत्तेजना से काफी मुक्त था। उसने देखा कि उसने क्या किया था, और यह उसे कुछ काला और घृणित लग रहा था।कुछ ब्लॉकों की तुलना में कभी भी चलना नहीं पड़ता था, जिसे अपने घर तक पहुंचने के लिए उन्हें पैदल ही जाना पड़ता था। नौकरानी के रोल करने के साथ बुलाए जाने से पहले उसे वहाँ जाना चाहिए; अन्यथा, वह क्या स्पष्टीकरण दे सकता था? -जो हमेशा से एक ऐसा नैतिक पुरुष था, जिसे माताओं ने अपने बेटों के लिए एक उदाहरण के रूप में इंगित किया था।

Turning his muckraking talents to journalism itself, Upton Sinclair exposes a variety of the news media?s ingrained biases and its agenda-serving corruption.Upton Sinclair became famous for exposing filthy and inhumane conditions in the American meat packing industry at the turn of the 20th century. Following these revelations, new laws were made protecting factory workers and their conditions. Sinclair afterwards became a figure for condemnation ? his personal life was scrutinized and subjected to spurious gossip and rumor, the cause being that the vast majority of newspaper corporations opposed his pro-worker, pro-regulation views.The title of this book alludes to a common practice in brothels: those frequenting these establishments would buy ?brass checks? to hand to the woman of their choice. Sinclair draws a parallel between such customers and the proprietors of the media, who delegate the promotion of their political, financial and social agendas to journalists willing to propagate such ideas.
