Descripción paperback. New York. 1980. Signet/New American Library. Reprinted Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front,Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers. 0451514602. Afterword By Edmund Reiss. 334 pages. paperback. CE1460. Cover: Lambert. keywords: Signet Classic Literature America 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - With his characteristic sardonic humor, Mark Twain (1835-1910), lambastes nineteenth-century aristocratic and religious ideals through the 1896 story of Hank Morgan's transport back to feudal times. The Yankee's attempt to engineer and enlighten Arthurian society meets with unexpected and always humorous results. Underneath the comedy, however, is a dark, ambitious critique of human nature that marks an important transition to Twain's pessimistic later writings. A blow on the head transports a Yankee to 528 A.D. where he proceeds to modernize King Arthur's kingdom by organizing a school system, constructing telephone lines, and inventing the printing press. inventory #30536 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front,Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers.
