Zusammenfassung:"Perhaps most well-known today as the inspiration for Paul Thomas Anderson's film There will be blood, Upton Sinclair's novel Oil! burst into the literary limelight amid soaring petroleum profits and gaping inequalities in 1927. By turns an ardent family saga, scintillating potboiler, and anti-capitalist tirade, Oil! ranks among the most important critiques of fossil energy ever printed; and while anticipating how fossil fuels have shaped the dilemmas of our present, it also looks toward a greener, more inclusive, and altogether more livable world yet to come. This edition, the first of its kind, features a contextual introduction that illuminates the novel's urgent timeliness in our warming world."--
