Leo Tolstoy

War and Peace is a literary work mixed with chapters on history and philosophy by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It was first published serially, then published in its entirety in 1869.

Book 8: 1811-12: After Prince Andrew's engagement to Natásha, Pierre without any apparent cause suddenly felt it impossible to go on living as before. Firmly convinced as he was of the truths revealed to him by his benefactor, and happy as he had been in perfecting his inner man, to which he had devoted himself with such ardor-all the zest of such a life vanished after the engagement of Andrew and Natásha and the death of Joseph Alexéevich.

Upton Sinclair

The story follows the life of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who comes to America with his family seeking a better life. However, he soon discovers the harsh realities of working in the meatpacking industry, where dangerous working conditions, low wages, and exploitative practices are the norm. 
Through Jurgis's experiences, Sinclair exposes the corrupt practices of the meatpacking industry, including unsanitary working conditions, unsafe food handling, and the mistreatment of workers. The novel also touches on issues such as poverty, political corruption, and the struggle for workers' rights. 
"The Jungle" had a profound impact on American society and led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906, which aimed to improve the safety and quality of food products in the United States. 
Overall, "The Jungle" is a powerful work of social criticism that exposes the harsh realities of industrial capitalism and the impact it has on workers and their families
