Summary "Kuningas kivihiili" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the struggles of coal miners in the Rocky Mountains, examining the harsh conditions and exploitation they face. The story follows a young American man who, driven by a desire to learn about and aid the oppressed workers, disguises himself as a miner but is met with suspicion and violence. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, Hal Warner, who arrives in the mining town of Pedro, eager to understand the life of coal miners. He is quickly met with hostility when he attempts to secure a job, as the mine's guards suspect him of being a union organizer. Despite this, Hal persists and encounters a variety of characters that illustrate the grim realities of the miners' existence, as well as their desperate conditions. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of social injustices and human resilience within the oppressive mining industry. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
