A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
$7.87
Hank Morgan awakens one morning to
find he has been transported from nineteenth-century New England to
sixth-century England and the reign of King Arthur and the Knights of
the Round Table. Morgan brings to King Arthur's utopian court the
ingenuity of the future, resulting in a culture clash that is at once
satiric, anarchic, and darkly comic.
Critically deemed one of Twain's finest and most caustic works, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is both a delightfully entertaining story and a disturbing analysis of the efficacy of government, the benefits of progress, and the dissolution of social mores. It remains as powerful a work of fiction today as it was upon its first publication in 1889.
