A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court (Penguin Classics)

Description

Step into one of American literature's most inventive literary conceits. A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court follows Hank Morgan, an 1899 American professor who is transported back in time to the court of King Arthur. Armed with modern knowledge and a mischievous sense of humor, Morgan introduces the medieval nobility to the wonders of the present — and the meddling of the future becomes a comedy of anachronism that has delighted readers for over a century.\n\nMark Twain's satire is both sharp and affectionate. He skewers the romanticized notions of medieval chivalry while celebrating the ingenuity of the human spirit. The Penguin Classics edition preserves the original text and its rich wit, making it an essential addition to any library. Whether you're a lifelong Twain fan or a newcomer to his work, you'll find humor and insight on every page of this timeless classic.
