A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
By Mark Twain
Length12h 30m
About this audiobook
When a 19th-century mechanic wakes up in Camelot, he uses his knowledge of science and history to become "The Boss," challenging the authority of the Church and Merlin. He introduces telephones, newspapers, and gunpowder to the Arthurian world, attempting to create a republic. The story begins as a fish-out-of-water comedy but darkens into a grim commentary on the destructive power of technology and war. It questions whether industrial progress truly equates to moral advancement.
