# A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 5.

By Mark Twain.

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 5." by Mark Twain is a historical novel published in 1889. When a Connecticut engineer named Hank Morgan suffers a head injury, he awakens in King Arthur's medieval England. Using his modern knowledge to pose as a powerful magician, he rivals Merlin and becomes the king's advisor. Hank attempts to modernize the past and implement democratic reforms, but faces opposition from the feudal system and the Church. This satirical work critiques chivalric romance while celebrating democratic values. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
