First published in 1889, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is Mark Twain's satirical and imaginative tale of time travel, social critique, and adventure. The story follows Hank Morgan, a 19th-century engineer from Connecticut, who mysteriously wakes up in medieval England during the reign of King Arthur.

Armed with modern knowledge and ingenuity, Hank attempts to introduce technology, education, and progressive ideas to the medieval world, often clashing with entrenched social hierarchies and superstitions. Twain combines humor, adventure, and sharp social commentary, critiquing romanticized notions of chivalry, power, and tradition.

Rich in satire and filled with inventive storytelling, this classic novel explores the tension between progress and tradition, reason and superstition, while providing a thrilling, humorous, and thought-provoking journey through time.
