Publisher Description
Upton Sinclair's narrative of King Midas is an exploration of the consequences of greed and excess in human nature. Through a re-imagining of the classical myth, Sinclair presents the tragedy of unchecked ambition and its devastating effects upon both Midas himself and those in his inner circle. In this symbolic narrative, he suggests that unchecked avarice has dire consequences for all involved and can only be curtailed through temperance and moderation.

About Upton Sinclair
Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) was a journalist, a prominent social and political activist, and the author of over two dozen books, including the novel Dragon’s Teeth, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1943. He is perhaps best known for The Jungle, the dramatic exposé of the Chicago meat-packing industry that prompted the investigation by Theodore Roosevelt that culminated in the pure-food legislation of 1906.
