Inhaltsangabe

This book openws your eyes to Jesus walking again from the lilies of Galilee to the thorn of Golgotha. Dr. Reinhold Niebur, famed theologian, has said of this novel: "While unorthodox, it is thoroughly reverent. Some orthodox Christians might not agree with the viewpoint of Upton Sinclair who seeks to appreciate the historical, the human Jesus, but even the most devout could not take offense." Dr. Carl Jung, wrote to Upton Sinclair, "You have certainly succeeded in presenting an acceptable picture.....should you venture to say that it is even a likely portrait of such a presumably unique charachter of high literary quality. Again, Sinclair mixes religion and politics in a unique American way. A Collector's Edition.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Upton Beall Sinclair Jr. was an American author, sleuth, political organizer, and writer who was born September 20, 1878, and died November 25, 1968. He was the Democratic Party's candidate for governor of California in 1934. He put together almost 100 books and other types of writing. In the first half of the 20th century, Sinclair's writing was well-known and liked. In 1943, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Sinclair became famous in 1906 for his classic muck-raking novel, The Jungle. This book showed how dirty and unsafe the U.S. meatpacking industry was, which caused a public uproar that helped pass the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act a few months later. He wrote a dirty book about American journalism called "The Brass Check" in 1919. It brought attention to the problem of "yellow journalism" and the limits of the "free press" in the US. Henry Ford's rise to power, including his "wage reform" and the Sociological Department at his company, is told in The Flivver King. It also talks about Ford's fall into antisemitism as editor of The Dearborn Independent. In the coal fields of Colorado, King Coal talks to John D. Rockefeller Jr. about his part in the Ludlow Massacre the year before.
