King Coal

<div>A wealthy dowager confronts the brutality of the class system and fights for justice in this dramatic account of the Sacco and Vanzetti case With the publication of The Jungle in 1906, Upton Sinclair became the literary conscience of America. Two decades later, he brought his singular artistry and steadfast commitment to the cause of social equality to bear on the case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian anarchists accused of armed robbery and murder. Boston, a &ldquo;documentary novel&rdquo; published one year after Sacco and Vanzetti were executed, brilliantly combines fact and fiction to expose the toxic atmosphere of paranoia, prejudice, and greed in which the two men were tried. Recently widowed sixty-year-old Cornelia Thornwell abandons her Boston Brahmin family to take a factory job in Plymouth, Massachusetts. She witnesses the crushing poverty and heartless bigotry endured by immigrant laborers, and befriends the charismatic fishmonger Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a committed anarchist and atheist. When Vanzetti and his fellow countryman Nicola Sacco are arrested and charged with murder, Cornelia&rsquo;s belief in the fairness of the American judicial system is shattered. Joining the public outcry heard from Boston to Buenos Aires, she demands a fair trial&mdash;but it is too late. As Sacco knew all too well: &ldquo;They got us, they will kill us.&rdquo; This ebook has been authorized by the estate of Upton Sinclair.</div>

Boston

<div>A muckraking expos&eacute; of corruption in American journalism from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of The Jungle Upton Sinclair dedicated his life to documenting the destructive force of unbridled capitalism. In this influential study, he takes on the effect of money and power on mass media, arguing that the newspapers, magazines, and wire services of the Progressive era formed &ldquo;a class institution serving the rich and spurning the poor.&rdquo; In the early twentieth century, a &ldquo;brass check&rdquo; was a token purchased by brothel patrons. By drawing a comparison between journalists and prostitutes, Sinclair highlights the total control publishers such as William Randolph Hearst exerted over their empires. Reporters and editors were paid to service the financial and political interests of their bosses, even if that meant misrepresenting the facts or outright lying. Sinclair documents specific cases, including the Ludlow Massacre of 1914 and the Red Scare whipped up by Hearst&rsquo;s New York Journal and other newspapers, in which major news outlets ignored the truth in favor of tabloid sensationalism. Sinclair considered The Brass Check to be his most important and most dangerous book. Nearly a century later, his impassioned call for reform is timelier than ever.

The Brass Check

<div>An eye-opening condemnation of the economic sins of organized religion Throughout his adult life Upton Sinclair was an unapologetic idealist and a tireless crusader for the rights of the common man. In this powerful and scrupulously researched critique, he argues that organized religion is a gargantuan moneymaking operation in collusion with industry in their shared quest to strike down dissent while bleeding profits from the millions in their thrall. Sinclair catalogs how spirituality, &ldquo;the most fundamental of the soul&rsquo;s impulses,&rdquo; is used as a tool for exploitation by unsavory clerical organizations. He specifically details the hypocrisy and self-serving, parasitic nature of churches in the West, from the entrenched fortresses of ancient Christianity to the &ldquo;nonconforming&rdquo; Protestant sects to the cultist &ldquo;new religions&rdquo; that came into vogue in the early twentieth century. A controversial, impassioned broadside, The Profits of Religion is Upton Sinclair at his most provocative and persuasive. This ebook has been authorized by the estate of Upton Sinclair.</div>

The Lanny Budd Novels Volume Two

<div>&ldquo;Passionate. . . . [The] lively satirical account of capitalist greed . . . and socialist struggle,&rdquo; that inspired the film There Will Be Blood (The Guardian). From the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of The Jungle, a novel set against the backdrop of the political corruption fueling the California oil industry during the Harding administration. Oil! is a tale of the capitalist insatiability that comes between an oil baron and his son, whose growing sympathies with the labor movement and socialist ideals fuels the riff between them. Peopled with politicians, financial investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood star, and a crusading evangelist, Oil! is also a spirited social commentary on the class struggle at the heart of the divide in post&ndash;World War I America. Written by an author heralded for his compelling narratives exploring themes of social justice, Oil! is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1927. &ldquo;A marvelous panorama of Southern California life. It is storytelling with an edge on it.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Republic &ldquo;A tremendous piece of work.&rdquo; &mdash;The Nation </div>

Oil!

<div>A three-act drama about political corruption in early&ndash;twentieth century New York, from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of The Jungle. First published in 1912, Upton Sinclair&rsquo;s The Machine tells the story of political grafting in New York City. The corrupt politicians of the Tammany Hall syndicate are using their business connections for their own financial gain, while some of the city&rsquo;s most vulnerable are drawn into a human trafficking ring. But a journalist, a lawyer, and an activist are eager to go up against the broken system and take it down . . .</div>

The Machine

<div>The Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s account of testing his wife’s telepathic abilities—with a preface by Albert Einstein. Upton Sinclair is primarily known as the 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 Sinclair’s 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.</div>
