Leseprobe
- Inhalt:
- It was that time of year when all the world belongs to poets, for their harvest of joy; when those who seek the country not for beauty, but for coolness, have as yet thought nothing about it, and when those who dwell in it all the time are too busy planting for another harvest to have any thought of poets; so that the latter, and the few others who keep something in their hearts to chime with the great spring-music, have the woods and waters all for their own for two joyful months, from the time that the first snowy bloodroot has blossomed, until the wild rose has faded and nature has no more to say.
- Upton Sinclair was an American author and pioneer of investigative journalism who produced nearly 100 books and other works across a number of genres. He is best known for his classic muckraking novel, The Jungle, which 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 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.
