- wwosik 12y agoNever heard of it before, sorry. Though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle says he's Lithuanian and his name "Jurgis Rudkus" is also rather Lithuanian than Polish. I believe Lithuanians do not like to be mistaken for Poles, despite (or maybe because of) much common history.
- dajohnson89 12y agoOops! I read that book twelve years ago, so the details are fuzzy. Sorry for the mix-up. I do recommend it though; it completely changed the way I view immigration, labor laws, and capitalism.
