Book Review
«A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court» by Mark Twain is a witty and satirical tale that explores the clash of two eras and cultures. Critics note that Twain masterfully uses humor and irony to mock the absurdity of feudal customs and medieval thinking. The main character, Hank Morgan, represents a typical late 19th-century American who, with modern technology and common sense, attempts to reform King Arthur's society. Critics emphasize that the book not only entertains but also provokes thought about progress, morality, and human nature. Twain successfully combines elements of science fiction and historical fiction, creating an engaging and multi-layered work.
