A Conn?cticut Yank?? in King Arthur's Court is a satirical nov?l writt?n by th? r?nown?d Am?rican author Mark Twain. Th? story follows th? adv?ntur?s of Hank Morgan, a practical and forward-thinking ?ngin??r from Conn?cticut who, aft?r a h?ad injury, in?xplicably finds hims?lf transport?d back in tim? to th? l?g?ndary ?ra of King Arthur and th? Knights of th? Round Tabl?. Arm?d with his knowl?dg? of 19th-c?ntury t?chnology and sci?nc?, Hank b?com?s a Conn?cticut Yank?? in King Arthur's court. H? us?s his mod?rn und?rstanding to introduc? r?volutionary chang?s to th? m?di?val world, such as cr?ating t?l?graphs, st?am pow?r, and advanc?d w?aponry. Whelp initially att?mpting to improv? soci?ty, Hank soon r?aliz?s that his att?mpts to mod?rniz? Cam?lot l?ad to unint?nd?d cons?qu?nc?s and chall?ng?s th? traditional ord?r. Th? nov?l is a biting satir? on th? romanticiz?d notions of chivalry, f?udalism, and th? Middl? Ag?s. Twain us?s Hank Morgan's ?xp?ri?nc?s to criticiz? th? sup?rstitions and injustic?s of his own tim? by contrasting th?m with th? p?rc?iv?d backwardn?ss of Arthurian England. As Hank navigat?s th? compl?xiti?s of m?di?val lif? and att?mpts to r?shap? th? cours? of history, r?ad?rs ar? tr?at?d to a bl?nd of humor, social comm?ntary, and adv?ntur?.
