A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 1. by Mark Twain
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 1." by Mark Twain is a novel published in 1889. A 19th-century engineer from Connecticut suffers a head injury and awakens in medieval England during King Arthur's reign. Using his modern knowledge to pose as a powerful magician, he rivals Merlin and becomes the king's chief minister. He attempts to modernize the feudal kingdom and implement democratic reforms, but faces resistance from entrenched powers.
Twain's satire lampoons romantic notions of chivalry while celebrating democratic values and questioning industrialization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
