Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court: "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."

Time travel serves as the backdrop for this imaginative tale, where Hank Morgan, a 19th-century American, finds himself in King Arthur's court after a head injury. Twain critiques the romanticized view of Arthurian legend by exposing the harsh realities of medieval life, including social injustices and brutal conflicts. With his modern knowledge, Morgan seeks to transform society through education and industry, ultimately becoming a powerful figure. The narrative blends humor with social commentary, culminating in Morgan's long life spanning over a thousand years.
