A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
About the eBook
What happens when a pragmatic 19th-century American engineer is knocked unconscious and wakes up in King Arthur's Camelot? Pure chaos, courtesy of Mark Twain, the great American humorist.
Hank Morgan, a foreman from Connecticut, suddenly finds himself in sixth-century England. Armed with modern knowledge, he decides to "civilize" the medieval world by introducing democracy, manufacturing, and explosive ingenuity—all while battling Merlin's magic and the ridiculous superstitions of the age.
More than a time-travel adventure, this novel is a brilliant satire that skewers:
Feudalism and Class: Exposing the injustice and cruelty of the "good old days."
Superstition vs. Science: Celebrating technology and rational thought.
Romanticized Legends: Bringing a dose of reality to the King Arthur myths.
Twain masterfully blends comedy with serious social commentary, making A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court a witty, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining read.
Witness the hilarious clash of centuries. Click "Buy Now" and bring the Industrial Revolution to Camelot!
