nové vydání klasické anglické četby When A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court
was published in 1889, Mark Twain was undergoing a series of personal
and professional crises. Thus what began as a literary burlesque of
British chivalry and culture grew into a disturbing satire of modern
technology and social thought. The story of Hank Morgan, a
nineteenth-century American who is accidentally returned to
sixth-century England, is a powerful analysis of such issues as
monarchy versus democracy and free will versus determinism, but it is
also one of Twain's finest comic novels, still fresh and funny after
more than 100 years.
In his introduction, M. Thomas Inge shows how A Connecticut Yankee
develops from comedy to tragedy and so into a novel that remains a
major literary and cultural text for new generations of readers. This
edition reproduces a number of the original drawings by Dan Beard, of
whom Twain said `he not only illustrates the text but he illustrates my
thoughts'.
Readership: Sixth form, high school to postgraduate level for American literature courses; also for study in courses on American culture, history, politics, humour and satire.
