Więcej o książce
This classic novel, which inspired the Academy Award-winning film, explores the early days of the California oil industry through a vivid narrative filled with a diverse cast of characters, including senators, oil magnates, Hollywood stars, and a fervent evangelist. Following his impactful work, The Jungle, Upton Sinclair delves into the complexities of the oil boom in this engaging story. Recently recognized by David Denby in the New Yorker as Sinclair’s “most readable” novel, it serves as the foundation for a major motion picture from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, known for his previous Oscar-nominated films. The movie features Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, and is set for release in select cities on December 26, 2007, before expanding nationwide in January. This film is produced by Paramount Vantage, known for other notable releases. As global conflicts continue over oil and concerns about natural resources mount, the themes of this book resonate strongly in today’s context, making its 80th anniversary in 2007 particularly relevant.
