About this eBook

Author Twain, Mark, 1835-1910
Title A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 6.
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 6" by Mark Twain is a satirical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of class, power, and the clash between modernity and tradition as it follows the character of Hank Morgan, a native of Connecticut, who finds himself transported back to the time of King Arthur. The story delves into Hank's attempts to navigate and manipulate the feudal society of medieval England using his knowledge of technology and progressive ideas. In this section, Hank and King Arthur, now disguised as peasants, embark on a series of adventures as they attempt to blend into the lower classes of society. Hank takes on the role of a guide and mentor, training Arthur in the ways of the common folk to avoid detection. Their interactions expose the absurdities and cruelties of the social hierarchy, as they encounter various challenges, including misunderstanding among the peasantry and the harsh realities of life under feudalism. As they face threats and dilemmas, Hank's ingenuity and Arthur's noble spirit come into play, underscoring both the humorous and critical tones of Twain's commentary on society and governance.
