«Un yanqui en la corte del rey Arturo» is Mark Twain's satirical novel, published by Anaya in hardback (400 pages, in Spanish).
A 19th-century American engineer travels to King Arthur's court and clashes with the medieval world. Mark Twain uses time travel as an excuse for social and political satire: he criticises monarchical, ecclesiastical and chivalric institutions, with caricatured characters and a critical look at the moral values of the era.
It is part of the Tus libros collection (volume 89) and includes illustrations by Dan Beard. Mark Twain originally published this work in 1889 as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
It is aimed at young readers aged 9 to 12 and at those who want a classic with humour and social criticism.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
