书籍简介：
“100%: The Story of a Patriot” by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life of Peter Gudge, a down-and-out character whose life takes a dramatic turn after he inadvertently becomes entangled in a plot surrounding a bombing during a patriotic parade. Through Peter's struggles and dire circumstances, the narrative explores themes of social injustice, the impact of war on individuals, and the manipulation of the powerful over the powerless. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Peter Gudge, a hungry and disillusioned young man wandering through American City, reflecting on the accidents that shape life. His mundane troubles are swept away when he encounters an elderly woman who gives him a leaflet. Shortly after, during the city's Preparedness Day parade, a catastrophic explosion rocks the scene. Peter is flung into chaos, where he initially pretends to be injured to secure comfort and food. As events unfold, police detectives mistake him for a suspect in the bombing plot, leading to his brutal interrogation and threats of violence. The opening chapters set a gripping stage for Peter's transformation from a desperate man into an unwilling participant in a larger socio-political struggle, establishing both the tension and the significant social commentary woven throughout Sinclair's work.
