Description

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 4" by Mark Twain is a novel published in 1889. A Connecticut engineer named Hank Morgan suffers a head injury and awakens in medieval England during King Arthur's reign. Using his modern knowledge, he convinces people he's a powerful magician and becomes the king's chief adviser. Hank attempts to modernize the past and implement democratic reforms, but faces opposition from Merlin, the aristocracy, and the Church in this satirical take on feudalism and chivalry.
