"You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." — Mark Twain When a 19th-century Yankee engineer is knocked unconscious and wakes up in the age of King Arthur, chaos and comedy collide in spectacular fashion. Armed with modern knowledge—and a sharp tongue—he sets out to "civilize" Camelot with science, democracy, and sarcasm. But meddling with history has its consequences. Blending medieval myth with modern mindsets, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is Mark Twain’s brilliant satire on power, progress, and the absurdity of both ancient and contemporary societies. It’s a wild ride through time, where castles meet telegraphs and chivalry clashes with capitalism.
