Excerpt from The Significance of Sinclair Now Main Street, a criticism of contemporary life with special reference to its interest and beauty, is important to us socially because, more thoroughly than any novel Since Uncle Tom's Cabin, it has shaken our complacency with regard to the average quality of our civilization. But it and the other work of Mr. Lewis which I shall discuss, are equally important to our literature as a return to the main matter and the manner of our national narrative.

Excerpt from Patrick Sinclair By far the most conspicuous object in the Island of Mackinac is the old fort which overhangs so protectingly the village below. The thick stone and earth walls, the three old block houses, built, according to the cards upon the doors, in 1780, the old buildings within the enclosure, all force the attention of the visitor, resident or tourist, to the age of the structure, but to few is known even the name, much less anything of the career of its creator. In the extreme Northeast of Scotland lies the Shire or County of Caithness; a large part of it low and boggy, it rises toward the South and West, and contains but three streams of any size, the Wickwater and the Forss and Thurso Rivers. Most of the coast line is rocky and forbidding and good harbors are few. Near the northeast corner is John O'Groat's house, and south of that along the East Coast is a large bay called Sinclair's Bay. For several centuries the name Sinclair or St. Clair - they are in reality the same, the latter being nearer to the original Norman form - has been the leading one in Caithness; the first earl of Caithness, created in 1455, being Sir William Sinclair.

Excerpt from A Catalogue of Books, Manuscripts, and Other Materials From the Upton Sinclair Archives I am now seventy-one years old, and my wife is sixty-six, and the time seems to have come when we ought to put them in a safe place. They have been very carefully guarded; my wife has made it her business to keep them safe. At the present time we have in our home at Monrovia no fewer than three storerooms, two of which are entirely filled and one nearly filled with various kinds of papers which have accumulated over a period of years - ever since the date of the Heli con Hall fire, March 1907, in which most of what I had then was destroyed, although I have a number of treasures which happened to be in my mother's home at the time of this fire. Among them is an early scrapbook containing the jokes and short stories by which I earned my living from the age of fifteen. The voluminous writings which I did for the so-called half-dime libraries during the ages from seventeen to twenty I never made any attempt to collect or preserve because they were of pretty poor quality; but five vol umes of them were collected and published in book form by Street 8c Smith, and I have one set of these five volumes. These are the West Point stories, the stories of West Point life which I began writing under the penname of Lt. Fred erick Garrison, and which I continued at the time the spanish-american War broke out in Cuba and nearby places. I understand that these original publications, the Starry Flag Weekly, and also the Annapolis stories in the so-called True Blue Library are considered collectors' items, but I have never done anything about them as I have never had any interest in them.

Excerpt from Dr. Sinclair's Sister, Vol. 3 of 3 Possibly, if the mistake Claire still declared she had made, in allowing herself to be duped by Lambert, had not been made, what came rapidly - as a new interest to her and her brother, - might have taken months, even years, to have come about. Possibly, - ii Marcus Sinclair had not - as it were - been delicately, yet forcibly, drawn into friendship with a Christian man, whose strength and nobleness Of character had the effect Of influencing all those with whom he came in contact, - either more or less.

The classic novel that inspired the Academy award-winning film, There Will Be Blood. Penguin Books is proud to now be the sole publisher of Oil!, the classic 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. After writing The Jungle, his scathing indictment of the meatpacking industry, Sinclair turned his sights on the early days of the California oil industry in a highly entertaining story featuring a cavalcade of characters including senators, oil magnets, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist. This lively and panoramic book, which was recently cited by David Denby in the New Yorker as being Sinclair’s “most readable” novel, is now the inspiration for the Paramount Vantage major motion picture, There Will Be Blood. It is the long-awaited film from Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the most admired filmmakers working today whose previous movies, Boogie Nights and Magnolia were both multiple Academy Award nominees. The movie stars Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York, My Left Foot) and Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine). Paramount Vantage will be releasing the film in New York and Los Angeles on December 26, 2007 and go nationwide in January. This is the same company responsible for Babel and A Mighty Heart and the current releases, Into the Wild, Margot at the Wedding, and The Kite Runner. As wars rage on in the oil region and as anxiety over natural resources rise, the subject of this book, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2007, is more timely than ever.
Excerpt from Norman Sinclair, Vol. 2 of 3 I Was strolling one fine afternoon in February through the Park, by way of relaxation after my work, when I descried immediately before me the tall gaunt figure of Mr Jefferson J. Ewins. Without losing a moment I made up to the Yankee, upon whose cadaverous countenance hovered a grim smile as he returned my greeting, protesting that he was as happy as a clam at high water to renew the pleasure of our acquaintance. Mr Ewins was nowise altered in appearance since I saw him last, save that, in honour of the country he had been visiting, he had donned a pair of trousers of the fieriest tartan, which made him rather a conspicuous object, and attracted the notice of several butchers boys, who facetiously inquired if he had been getting his legs cut up into collops.

Carol Milford dreams of living in a small, rural town. But Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, isn't the paradise she'd imagined. First published in 1920, this unabridged edition of the Sinclair Lewis novel is an American classic, considered by many to be his most noteworthy and lasting work. As a work of social satire, this complex and compelling look at small-town America in the early 20th century has earned its place among the classics.
