A pioneering work of science fiction, it vibrates w/ slapstick comedy & serious social commentary as well. In this complex & ambitious tour de force, an inventive 19th-century resident of Hartford named Hank Morgan travels back in time to 16th-century England where he tries to introduce modern technology & political ideas. Along the way he founds the first tabloid, the "Camelot Weekly Hosannah and Literary Volcano", organizes a game of baseball between armor-clad knights, & "keeps up a steady fire of flippancies, so frequent that no reader registers all of them on the first go-around," as Louis Budd reminds us in his introduction. "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" is Twain's most complex & disturbing meditation on technology, as well as a powerful consideration of politics & power. The original illustrations by Dan Beard, chosen by Twain himself to illustrate the book, brilliantly mix buffoonery w/ sharp social satire in an effective counterpoint to the text. By turns side-splittingly funny & somberly thought-provoking, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" is Twain at his finest. * ABOUT "THE OXFORD MARK TWAIN": Colorful, irreverent, romantic, skeptical, a master of comic asides, a bittersweet humorist, & an unflinching critic of human pretensions, Mark Twain speaks to us across time w/ verve & wisdom. Under the direction of noted Twain scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin, & w/ fresh appreciations by a pantheon of leading writers & scholars, we now have "The Oxford Mark Twain"--29 glorious volumes of facsimile first editions make accessible to devoted readers ALL of Mark Twain, in all his richness & complexity, to inspire, entertain, instruct, & delight. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
