| Summary |
"Sadan prosentin patrioti" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Petteri Gudgen, a man whose life takes a dramatic turn due to a chance encounter that leads him into a tumultuous world of societal conflict, patriotism, and political intrigue against the backdrop of American city life. The novel explores themes of poverty, desperation, and the struggle for power. The opening of the book introduces Petteri Gudgen as he navigates the streets of American City, burdened by his poverty and recent hardships. A chance meeting with an older woman prompts him to take a pamphlet that he initially dismisses, unaware that it will lead him into a larger narrative of unrest and turmoil. As Petteri reflects on the randomness of life and his misfortunes, he soon finds himself caught in a chaotic scene involving a patriotic parade, which ultimately culminates in a devastating bombing incident. This moment sets the stage for his involvement in the ensuing investigation and conflict surrounding the events that unfold, thrusting him into the heart of political machinations he never anticipated.
