Cuando La jungla se public� por entregas en el peri�dico socialista The Appeal to Reason en 1905, era un tercio m�s extensa que la edici�n comercial y censurada que se public� en forma de libro al a�o siguiente. Esta expurgada edici�n eliminaba gran parte del sabor �tnico del original, as� como las m�s brillantes descripciones de la industria c�rnica y algunos de los comentarios m�s punzantes y pol�ticos de Sinclair. Escrito tras una visita a los mataderos de Chicago, se trata de una descripci�n dura y realista de las inhumanas condiciones de trabajo en el sector. No es frecuente que un libro tenga semejante impacto pol�tico, pero su publicaci�n gener� protestas a favor de reformas laborales y agr�colas a lo largo y ancho de Estados Unidos, y dio lugar a una investigaci�n de Roosevelt y el gobierno federal que culmin� en la Pure Food Legislation de 1906, acogida favorablemente por la opini�n p�blica. Esta edici�n contiene los 36 cap�tulos de la versi�n original sin censurar, y una interesante introducci�n que desvela los criterios censores aplicados en la edici�n comercial.
