1. A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court
(Unabridged)
Hank Morgan is a mechanic, an engineer, and a foreman at the Colt Arms Factory.
One day he gets into an argument, "conducted with crowbars," with an employee
known as "Hercules." A blow to Hank's head sends him back to King Arthur's England
in the Sixth Century. Quickly becoming a newspaper tycoon, an inventor, a showman,
politician, and one-man military industrial complex, Hank rises to a position of power
second only to King Arthur himself, ultimately challenging all of knight errantry and
even the established Church. A remarkably prescient tale, replete with brilliant humor,
exciting action, biting satire, and awe-inspiring philosophy, this book shows off Mark
Twain's full range of incredible storytelling gifts and his remarkable philosophies of
economics, religion, and politics. This Mark Twain In Person Library recording is an
approximation of Mark Twain's own voice, just as his family might have heard the
story for the first time in the family library.
