Ten years ago, when I was a student at college, I fell a victim to a new and fashionable ailment called "la grippe." I recollect the date very well, because it was the first time I had been sick in fourteen years-the last difficulty having been the whooping-cough. I have many times had occasion to recall the interview with the last physician I went to see. I made a proposition, which might have changed the whole course of my future life, had he only been capable of understanding it. I said: "Doctor, it has occurred to me that I would like to have someone who knows about the body examine me thoroughly and tell me how to live." I can recollect his look of perplexity. "Was there anything the matter with you before this attack?" he asked. "Nothing that I know of," I answered; "but I have often reflected that the way I am living cannot be perfect; and I want to get as much out of my body and mind as I can. I should like to know, for instance, just what are proper things for me to eat" "Nonsense," he interrupted. "You go right on and live as you have been living, and don't get to thinking about your health." And so I went away and dismissed the idea. It was one that I had broached with a great deal of diffidence; so far as I knew, it was entirely original, and I was not sure how a doctor would receive it. All doctors that I had ever heard of were people who cured you when you were sick; to ask one to take you when you were well and help you to stay well, was to take an unfair advantage of the profession.

"Mental Radio" by Upton Sinclair is a captivating foray into the uncharted territory of telepathy and clairvoyance by a man better known for his politically influential novels and journalism. Venturing beyond the realms of political expos s, Sinclair candidly shares his reluctant exploration into the realms of extra-sensory perception, spurred by the extraordinary abilities of his wife, Mary Craig Sinclair. Fueled by her premonitions, including an eerie insight into Jack London's mental turmoil before his suicide, the Sinclairs embarked on a fascinating investigation. At the heart of the book are the doodles created outside Craig's presence, which she astonishingly duplicates through what appears to be telepathic or clairvoyant means. Sinclair presents compelling evidence, citing a remarkable 75% success rate over 290 tests, challenging conventional notions of probability. Esteemed figures, including Albert Einstein and William McDougal, attested to the credibility of the Sinclairs' experiments, leaving readers to grapple with the intersection of Sinclair's reputation as a truth-teller and the inexplicable world of extrasensory perception.

A pivotal book that changed life in the United States, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is one of the great radical novels of the twentieth century. Graphic, provocative, and uniquely impactful, the book traces the life of an immigrant family in pursuit of the American Dream in Chicago's meatpacking district. Sinclair's book pushed radical food safety regulation through Congress, got him invited to the White House to meet with President Roosevelt, and set him on a career exposing the contradictions at the heart of American capitalism. The Jungle has lost none of the force that made it an instant bestseller. Its rallying cry to fundamentally change the system remains urgently relevant today.

It is the dawn of the twentieth century. Two young Lithuanian immigrants, Jurgis and Ona, hold their wedding celebration in Packingtown, the heart of Chicago's meatpacking district. According to custom, departing guests should give money to help pay for the party and start the newlyweds off in life. But many guests walk out leaving nothing. Ona worries about the couple's debts, but Jurgis calms her, saying, "I will work harder." Strong and confident, Jurgis begins a job in a meatpacking plant, where he bears the twelve-hour workdays, the repellent and dangerous labor conditions, and the pitifully low pay. But when his family is cheated in a housing swindle, his father is forced to turn over one-third of his pay to the man who hired him. A sprained ankle costs Jurgis his job, the American Dream that inspired him veers into nightmare, and worse is yet to come.
