In his legendary novel The Jungle (1905 and 1906), Upton Sinclair included a conspicuous number of Lithuanian words, phrases and surnames. This volume is the first attempt to analyze aspects of Lithuanian linguistic and historical data from The Jungle. Sinclair discovered the Lithuanian language in Chicago and explored it with pleasure. He even confessed to having sang in Lithuanian. If you look for "a Lithuanian linguist" working in field-research conditions in Chicago’s Back of the Yards—there is Upton Sinclair! The book targets Sinclair’s motives for choosing Lithuanian characters

Senators, small investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood film star, and a crusading

This is the first edition of The Millennium since the author self-published it in 1924. In the year 2000, capitalism reaches its zenith with the construction of the Pleasure Palace, a glittering half-mile-high structure in the middle of Central Park. During the grand opening, a scientific experiment with radiumite explodes, killing everyone on Earth except 11 people in the Pleasure Palace. Their attempt to rebuild a capitalist society results instead in the world’s first successful utopian state.
