Upton Sinclair is a well-known American writer, a Pulitzer Prize winner, whose creative legacy includes about a hundred works. The most popular of these is the novel There Will Be Blood!, thanks in large part to the Oscar-winning film adaptation directed by Paul Anderson (Magnolia, Inherent Vice, Punch-Down Love) and starring Daniel Day-Lewis. The novel depicts in great detail the world of oil owners in Southern California in the twenties of the last century. In this society closed to mere mortals, dramas are played out that affect the well-being of the entire country. Love, envy, money, power, justice - these are the main ingredients of this fascinating story, which is still read with great interest today.
