A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
About this book
What happens when modern science collides with medieval superstition?
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), by Mark Twain, is a brilliant satire that mixes adventure, fantasy, and biting social commentary.
The novel follows Hank Morgan, a practical engineer from 19th-century Connecticut who, after a blow to the head, mysteriously awakens in the world of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Armed with his modern knowledge, Hank seeks to reform the medieval kingdom—using science, reason, and technology to outwit superstition and challenge entrenched traditions.
Twain uses Hank's exploits to lampoon the romantic idealization of the Middle Ages while raising timeless questions about progress, power, and human folly. Hilarious, daring, and thought-provoking, the novel is both a gripping adventure and a sharp critique of society.
Blending time travel with Twain's trademark wit, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court remains one of his most imaginative and enduring works.
