Berkeley. 2011. February 2011. University of California Press. 1st Printing of This New Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520268166. Edited by Bernard L. Stein. Original illustrations by Daniel Carter Beard. Mark Twain Library, 4. 221 line illustrations. 480 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Mark Twain. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Hank Morgan, cracked on the head by a crowbar in nineteenth-century Connecticut, wakes to find himself in the England of King Arthur. The tough-minded Yankee, an embodiment of scientific enlightenment, faces a world whose idyllic surface only masks the dark forces of fear, injustice, and ignorance. This is the springboard which launches one of literature's most extraordinary excursions into fantasy. With the agility of Mark Twain's unique virtuosity, this acrobatic tour de force moves from broad comedy to biting social satire, and from the pure joy of wild high jinks to deeply probing insights into the nature of man, whose capacity for progress is matched only by his capacity for destruction. The reader is shaken by laughter-and something more than laughter-as he falls under the book's enchantment and finds that the grim truths of Mark Twain's Camelot strike a resoundingly contemporary note. inventory #37800.
