The Top Seven Novels Authored By Upton Sinclair

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.

It was due to his first publication in nineteen six that he achieved worldwide acclaim and recognition. During the span of his long standing career, he managed to publish around 100 books, which continue to be read and referenced today by various educational institutions and avid readers. As such, this listed below are the top seven novels authored by Upton Sinclair.

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 the last part in a three part series regarding Lanny, the titular character in this publication. However, this one stands out from the rest because it was the last one in this particular series and the events prompted the main character Lanny to come out of retirement. The events took place post 2nd World War as a presidential professional in its fictional world.

King Coal was initially published in nineteen seventeen and focuses mainly on the poor conditions men and women working in its coal industry were subjected to, ten years prior to its publication. The main character was named Hal Warner and expresses may references to his socialist beliefs. Much like The Jungle, it took on a more implied tone, rather than an accusatory one that also lead to speculation amongst the public.

An interesting nonfiction work he published that was highly praised and beloved by Albert Einstein is titled Mental Radio. The book in its numerous pages recounts the experiments done on Mary Craig, fellow author and his wife. The experiments had to do largely with telepathy, which Mary became associated with following a serious bout of depression and gaining a high interest in superstition and the occult afterwards. In fact, Einstein loved this work so much that he offered to pen a preface in his native language, which is German.

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 1925 and is a socialist commentary on pop culture. It berated fellow authors who used cheap thrills and weak plots to gain profit and fame. The content was based on statistics, facts, and his owned formed opinions based on those facts.
