descriptif du fournisseur
First published in 1889, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" is a foundational work of science fiction and social satire by the legendary Mark Twain. This masterpiece of time-travel literature tells the story of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century factory superintendent from Hartford, Connecticut, who, after receiving a blow to the head, awakens in 6th-century Britain during the reign of the legendary King Arthur. Using his knowledge of modern technology and science—which the medieval inhabitants mistake for powerful magic—Morgan quickly rises to power, earning the title of "The Boss." He attempts to modernize Camelot by introducing electricity, gunpowder, the telegraph, and democratic ideals, often coming into direct conflict with the wizard Merlin and the established feudal system. Twain uses this premise to deliver a biting critique of monarchy, chivalry, and the church, while simultaneously questioning the costs of industrialization and the fragility of human progress. The novel transitions from lighthearted burlesque and slapstick comedy to a dark, apocalyptic conclusion, making it one of the most complex and debated works in the American literary canon. This public domain classic is an essential read for those interested in the origins of the "Connecticut Yankee" archetype and the time-travel genre. It remains a staggering achievement of imagination that blends Arthurian legend with 19th-century American ingenuity.
