'''''The Jungle''''' ('''''Junglen''''' på dansk) is a book[[realisme (litteratur)|realist]] novel by [[Upton Sinclair]], that was published in 1906.
 
==Navnet==
Ordet ''[[jungle]]'' usually refers to en tæt tropisk skovtype, som især forekommer ved ækvator og i tropiske klimazoner. Men, rammen af bogen er ikke i en jungle, and the book does not ever mention an actual jungle except for in one sentence. The word ''jungle'' in English can also mean "____" ("a situation or place of bewildering complexity or brutal competitiveness" på engelsk).<ref>http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/jungle (engelsk)</ref> Another possibility of Sinclair's choice of this title is that the title was chosen quickly because of a publishing deadline. <ref name="shmoop">[http://www.shmoop.com/the-jungle/title.html ANALYSIS: WHAT'S UP WITH THE TITLE?] (engelsk)</ref>
 
The word ''jungle'' is used only once in the book. In a part of Chapter 22, Jurgis Rudkus is drunk and decides to sleep with a prostitute, and the book compares Jurgis' sexual desperation to that of a beast in the jungle.<ref name="shmoop">[http://www.shmoop.com/the-jungle/title.html ANALYSIS: WHAT'S UP WITH THE TITLE?] (engelsk)</ref> Furthermore, Sinclair associated desperation with a jungle, so this may have been an inspiration for the title.
