A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
Imagine a no-nonsense, pragmatic 19th-century American engineer, Hank Morgan, getting clonked on the head and waking up in the legendary court of King Arthur. This isn't a romantic fantasy; it's a full-throttle culture clash. Hank, armed with his encyclopedic knowledge of gunpowder, electricity, and basic mechanics, quickly establishes himself as a 'magician' far more potent than Merlin. What follows is a riotous, often biting, attempt to industrialize and 'civilize' medieval England, introducing everything from newspapers to stock markets, all while navigating the absurdities of chivalry, superstition, and the divine right of kings.
