Book Overview
"Damaged Goods, The Great Play Les Avaries of Eugene Brieux," novelized by Upton Sinclair, delves into a powerful moral dilemma at the heart of early 20th-century society. This gripping story fearlessly confronts the devastating impact of sexually transmitted diseases on marriage and personal lives.
Exploring themes of adultery and social commentary, the narrative presents a stark portrayal of the consequences of ignorance and societal taboos surrounding disease.
