About the eBook

⚔️ When reason meets superstition, chaos—and comedy—are bound to follow. ⚔️

Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a dazzling blend of adventure, satire, and science fiction, a brilliant reimagining of the Arthurian world through the sharp lens of American wit and reason.

The story follows Hank Morgan, a clever engineer from 19th-century Connecticut, who—after a blow to the head—awakens in the mythical kingdom of King Arthur's Camelot. Armed with his modern knowledge and ingenuity, Hank sets out to "civilize" the medieval world, introducing inventions like gunpowder, telegraphs, and printing presses. But his attempts to reform society soon lead to unintended and tragic consequences.

With biting humor and deep insight, Twain explores themes of technology, power, class, and human folly, turning a fantastical premise into a profound reflection on progress and morality. His trademark blend of humor and heartbreak transforms this novel into both a comic adventure and a timeless critique of blind idealism.

First published in 1889, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court remains one of Twain's most imaginative and thought-provoking works—a story that questions what it truly means to be "civilized."
