Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Connecticut_Yankee_in_King_Arthur%27s_Court Produced by David Widger "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 7." by Mark Twain is a satirical novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores the juxtaposition of modern ideas against the backdrop of medieval England, primarily focusing on the absurdities of chivalry and the nature of power. Mark Twain uses humor and wit to delve into themes of class, society, and technological advancements through the experiences of its protagonist, Hank Morgan, who finds himself transported back to the time of King Arthur.

The king's struggles with his newfound status as a commodity reflect Twain's commentary on class and dignity, while Hank's cleverness frequently provides a sharp critique of the societal norms of the time. Through scenes of banter, conflict, and yearning for freedom, Twain masterfully illustrates the complexities of human nature and the farcical aspects of societal conventions.
