«Un yanqui en la corte del rey Arturo» is Mark Twain's satirical novel, published by Editors in hardcover (157 pages, in Spanish).
A 19th-century American engineer appears in King Arthur's England and, thanks to his modern knowledge, is taken for a magician. Twain uses the misunderstanding to contrast progress and tradition, and satirizes the nobility, chivalry and medieval superstitions, in an adventure with humor, irony and social criticism.
Work originally published under the title «A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court» in 1889. This 1985 edition is illustrated.
For readers who enjoy social satire, humor and time-travel stories with an Arthurian backdrop.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
