A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Synopsis

This audiobook was narrated using AI-generated voice technology. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a sharp, imaginative, and humorous classic that blends time travel, medieval adventure, political satire, and social criticism. The story follows Hank Morgan, a practical nineteenth-century American engineer who is mysteriously transported back to the age of King Arthur, where his modern knowledge gives him extraordinary power in a world ruled by knights, superstition, monarchy, and tradition. What begins as a comic collision between modern technology and medieval society gradually becomes a deeper reflection on progress, power, inequality, violence, and the dangerous arrogance of believing that one civilization can simply "improve" another. With wit, irony, and bold imagination, the novel questions romantic myths about the past while exposing the contradictions of modernity itself.
