A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Více o knize

A time-traveling engineer from Connecticut, Hank Morgan, finds himself in King Arthur's England after a head injury. Initially confused and captured, he soon leverages his modern knowledge to convince others of his magical abilities, aiming to improve their lives. However, his efforts to modernize the past lead to unforeseen consequences, including the death of Arthur and a backlash from the Catholic Church. Mark Twain crafted this novel as a humorous critique of chivalric ideals, inspired by his own dream of knighthood.
