About this listen

 What if you ventured into the world clinging to the simple truths you were taught in your youth? In Samuel the Seeker, we explore this question through the eyes of the renowned novelist, journalist, and activist Upton Sinclair. Set against the backdrop of a century ago in the capitalist microcosm of Lockmanville, upstate New York, this narrative follows young Samuel Prescott, who, after being robbed of everything, encounters a vivid cast of characters. From the cunning capitalists to the idealistic socialists, and the self-righteous religious figures to the corrupt politicians and police, everyone is depicted as standing on the backs of the downtrodden. Within these pages, we may find reflections of ourselves as we search for truth and a path forward.
