A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Autor Mark Twain Editat de Kim Iverson Headleeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 aug 2019
Whatever is an epitome of Yankee practicality and American sensibilities to do? Why, conquer the kingdom, of course, and drag it kicking and screaming into the nineteenth century.
"If you only know the various comic-book and film adaptations of Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, you're liable to imagine the book as a laugh riot, an exercise in anachronistic fun. Knights on bicycles Knights in armor playing baseball A newspaper named The Camelot Weekly Hosannah and Literary Volcano In fact, Twain's 1889 novel is seldom what we'd call funny. Instead, it's more the literary equivalent of the Fourth of July--a farrago of politics, preaching and fireworks." The Washington Post
Includes illustrations by Daniel Carter Beard created for the original 1889 edition.

Notă biografică
Mark Twain (30 November 1835- 21 April 1910) was born in Florida, United States. He was a Humorist, author, and lecturer. He grew up in Hannibal and later moved to California. In a California mining camp, he heard the story that he published in 1865 and made popular as the title story of his first novel, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches, in 1867. From his humorous stories, The Innocents Abroad (1869) and Roughing It in 1872, to his appearance as a riverboat captain in Life on the Mississippi in 1883, through his adventure stories of childhood, he got a worldwide audience, mainly for Tom Sawyer (1876) and Huckleberry Finn (1885), known as the masterpieces of American fiction. The ironic A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in 1889. His eldest daughter passed away in 1896, his wife in 1904, and another daughter in 1909. He expressed his depression about the human character in such late works as the after-death published Letters from the Earth (1962).
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
