A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court : A Brilliant Blend of Science, Humor, and Medieval Mayhem from America's Great Satirist

What happens when a 19th-century engineer wakes up in Camelot? Pure, hilarious chaos.

Armed with Yankee ingenuity and a skeptical mind, Hank Morgan takes on superstition, royalty, and the Roman Catholic Church in a battle of wits and technology.

Beneath the humor and absurdity, Twain delivers a scathing satire on power, progress, and the myth of noble tradition—making this one of his most daring and forward-thinking works.
