Number of pages in PDF: 203
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is a book by Mark Twain, first published in 1889. Blending historical fiction with biting satire and science fiction elements, the novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century American engineer who is mysteriously transported back in time to the court of King Arthur. Using his knowledge of modern science and industry, Morgan attempts to modernize medieval England—with often disastrous and ironic consequences. Twain uses the time-travel premise to critique romanticized notions of chivalry and monarchy, highlighting the absurdities and cruelties of feudal society. At the same time, he casts a skeptical eye on the supposed superiority of modern industrial civilization. The novel is both humorous and dark, ultimately questioning whether technological progress truly equates to moral advancement. It stands as one of Twain’s most complex works, straddling the line between comic fantasy and a sobering philosophical reflection on power, ignorance, and history.
