Surrounded by knights, wizards, nobles, peasants, superstition, and medieval power structures, Hank decides to remake the past with modern knowledge, industrial confidence, and the absolute certainty that he knows better than everyone around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1889, Twain's novel is one of the great early works of time-travel fiction and one of his sharpest satires. The comedy is immediate: a modern man trying to organize, modernize, advertise, electrify, and outmaneuver the Middle Ages. But underneath the joke is a darker argument about technology, violence, class, monarchy, religion, empire, and the arrogance of progress. Twain turns the fantasy of improving the past into a warning about power in any age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders drawn to classic science fiction, time-travel stories, Arthurian legend, American satire, comic adventure, and Mark Twain's restless attack on human folly will find this Positronic edition a natural fit. \u003cem\u003eA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court\u003c\/em\u003e remains both wildly entertaining and bitterly intelligent: a speculative classic in which Camelot becomes the testing ground for modernity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 284\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48007748681879,"sku":"9781515421849","price":39.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4552\/4631\/files\/Pxf6whCKqT9781515421849.webp?v=1783756482","url":"https:\/\/leyambercollective.com\/products\/a-connecticut-yankee-in-king-arthurs-court-a-positronic-book-hardcover","provider":"Ley Amber Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
