Oil!

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The classic novel that inspired the Academy award-winning film, There Will Be Blood. Penguin Books is proud to now be the sole publisher of Oil!, the classic 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. After writing The Jungle, his scathing indictment of the meatpacking industry, Sinclair turned his sights on the early days of the California oil industry in a highly entertaining story featuring a cavalcade of characters including senators, oil magnets, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist. This lively and panoramic book, which was recently cited by David Denby in the New Yorker as being Sinclair’s “most readable” novel, is now the inspiration for the Paramount Vantage major motion picture, There Will Be Blood. It is the long-awaited film from Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the most admired filmmakers working today whose previous movies, Boogie Nights and Magnolia were both multiple Academy Award nominees. The movie stars Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York, My Left Foot) and Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine). Paramount Vantage will be releasing the film in New York and Los Angeles on December 26, 2007 and go nationwide in January. This is the same company responsible for Babel and A Mighty Heart and the current releases, Into the Wild, Margot at the Wedding, and The Kite Runner. As wars rage on in the oil region and as anxiety over natural resources rise, the subject of this book, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2007, is more timely than ever.

The Jungle

By: Upton Sinclair

He was of no consequence - he was flung aside, like a bit of trash, the carcass of some animal. It was horrible, horrible!'Upton Sinclair's searing novel follows the fortunes of Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian who comes to America with his fiancée and family in search of a better life. What he finds in the stockyards of turn-of-the-century Chicago is a ruthless system that degrades and impoverishes him, and an industry whose filthy practices contaminate the meat it processes. From the stench of the killing-beds to the horrors of the fertilizer-works, the appalling conditions in which Jurgis works aredescribed in documentary detail by an author intent on social reform. So powerful was the book's effect that it led to changes to the food hygiene laws in the United States. Despite this success, the issues of immigrant exploitation and food adulteration addressed by the novel are still very much in evidencetoday. This new edition considers The Jungle's impact, and its disputed status as propaganda or literature.

Upton Sinclair, Collection

By: Upton Sinclair

Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr. (September 20, 1878 – November 25, 1968), was an American author who wrote close to one hundred books in many genres. He achieved popularity in the first half of the twentieth century, acquiring particular fame for his classic muckraking novel, The Jungle (1906). It exposed conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry, causing a public uproar that contributed in part to the passage a few months later of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. In 1919, he published The Brass Check, a muckraking exposé of American journalism that publicized the issue of yellow journalism and the limitations of the “free press” in the United States. Four years after the initial publication of The Brass Check, the first code of ethics for journalists was created Time magazine called him "a man with every gift except humor and silence."In 1943, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

The Upton Sinclair Collection, Including (complete and Unabridged) The Jungle, King Coal, The Metropolis, The Moneychangers and They Call Me Carpenter

By: Upton Sinclair

Hold on to your hats for a ride through the injustices of 1900s America courtesy of Upton Sinclair, (1878 - 1968), an American author and commentator who wrote nearly 100 books. Not only did he write amazing stories and expose dreadful truths, he changed America for good, the public uproar resulting from his books caused Laws to be passed and greater justice was the outcome. In 'The Jungle' we meet a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America, hoping to find the land of opportunity. He works in the Chicago stockyards, where he finds himself treated as a slave; he has, in fact, arrived in a jungle of human suffering. 'King Coal' charts the lives and deaths of coal miners in the Western United States in the early 1900s. Americans and immigrants are working as slaves. It is up to them to fight back. In 'The Metropolis' we find another side of the early 1900's - a time when the rich were carefree and enjoyed life because it was one endless party. We meet the people with immense fortunes and an endless supply of money who need to spend, spend, spend to keep up with their contemporaries. It may be set in the 1900s but it is scarily similar to the lives of modern day celebrities. 'The Moneychangers' follows another section of society - those who worked on Wall Street. Motivated by greed and pride, an immense power struggle is played out that eventually leads to the stockmarket crash and runs on the banks. Starting out harmlessly enough, this sad story escalates into malicious double crossing, back stabbing and ends with broken people and America in economic disaster. Again, the parallels to our own times are evident. To finish this epic set of books there is the novel, 'They Call Me Carpenter'. Jesus steps out of a stained-glass window, unsure as to whether church is the right place for him any more. And so starts the story of 'Mr Carpenter' encountering people as he did in the Gospels - modern day equivalents of the same people, places and issues. Christianity is brought to life in this vivid novel. Shockingly, Mr Carpenter is concerned with the outcast and the plight of the poor and is sickened by the privileged who add to the abuses of the poor. Mr Carpenter gets a similar reception in this novel as Jesus receives in the Gospels. It really is a must-read.

The definitive edition of one of the twentieth century's most politically engaged novels. Eby does a masterful job of situating Sinclair in his multiple social and aesthetic contexts, and her selection of critical commentary illuminates The Jungle's continuing relevance to discussions on literature's precise relation to socialist politics." --Kinohi Nishikawa, Princeton University
