Sinopse

"What happens when Yankee ingenuity collides with King Arthur's Camelot?"

Mark Twain's classic novel, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, is a witty, imaginative, and razor-sharp satire that blends time travel, adventure, and biting social commentary.

When a modern 19th-century engineer is mysteriously transported to King Arthur's medieval England, he uses his knowledge of science and technology to rise in power, challenge the superstitions of the age, and bring progress to Camelot. But his modern ideas soon clash with ancient traditions—and the results are both hilarious and tragic.

Twain weaves together humor, romance, and political critique, exposing the absurdities of both medieval feudalism and modern industrial society. At once entertaining and thought-provoking, this novel is a masterpiece of speculative fiction that continues to resonate today.

🌟 Why Readers Love It:

A time-travel adventure filled with humor, irony, and wit.

Twain's sharp critique of power, corruption, and blind tradition.

A timeless story that speaks to the clash between innovation and tradition.

📖 Celebrated as one of Twain's boldest and most original works, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court has inspired adaptations in film, theater, and popular culture—securing its place as a cornerstone of classic literature.

    From the unapologetic bad boy of professional golf comes a rip-roaring account of his rollercoaster life and career

    Hanna Flint speaks from the heart in this personal and incisive reflection on how cinema has been the key to understanding herself and the world we live in. A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences—episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D'Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded like a secret agent—she offers a critical eye on the screen's representation of women and ethnic minorities and their impact on her life, body image, and ambitions, with the humor and eloquence that has made her a leading film critic of her generation. Divided into the sections Origin Story, Coming of Age, Adult Material, Workplace Drama, and Strong Female Character, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society. Warm, funny, engaging, and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to listeners of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.
