A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain is a classic satirical novel about a nineteenth-century American engineer who travels back in time to early medieval England and uses his modern practical knowledge to astonish the inhabitants.
Discussed“I would go for Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. He became like a court wizard um based on um his uh uh uh practical Yankee understanding of things like the almanac and the the pattern of solar eclipses. So, that's a good example of practical knowledge leading to a pretty great job.”
