Metropolis
Published in 1907, 'Metropolis' by Upton Sinclair explores the extravagant lifestyle of New York City's wealthy elite through the eyes of Allan Montague, a lawyer from Mississippi. As he navigates the opulent social scene introduced by his brother Oliver, Sinclair critiques the excesses, moral decay, and superficiality of high society. The novel highlights themes of alcoholism, infidelity, and the cutthroat nature of the upper class, offering a stark contrast to the struggles of the working class depicted in Sinclair's earlier work, 'The Jungle.'
