Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. First Edition. From Wikipedia: "This 1889 historical novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain, later retitled, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Thebook was profusely illustrated by Daniel Carter Beard! In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut named Hank Morgan receives a s…evere blow to the head and is somehow transported in time and space to England during the reign of King Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of Arthur's knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful magician. He becomes a rival of Merlin, who appears to be little more than a fraud, and gains the trust of King Arthur. Hank attempts to modernize the past in order to make people's lives better. Hank is disgusted by how the Barons treat the commoners and tries to implement democratic reforms, but in the end, he is unable to prevent the death of Arthur. Hank declares England a republic, but the Catholic Church, growing fearful of his wealth and power, issues an interdict against him. Twain wrote the book as a burlesque of Romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armour. It is a satire of feudalism and monarchy that also celebrates homespun ingenuity and democratic values while questioning the for-profit ideals of capitalism and outcomes of the Industrial Revolution. Twain strongly praises the French Revolution, defending the Reign of Terror as a minor problem compared to the monarchy. It is among several works by Twain and his contemporaries that mark the transition from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era of socioeconomic discourse. It is often cited as a formative example of the fledgling time travel genre." THIS copy has some serious condition issues, but appears complete with all its fabulous artwork!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the acute form of phthisis, which refers to the rapid onset and progression of the disease, often without the characteristic softening of tubercles seen in chronic phthisis. The author provides a detailed description of the disease's symptoms, physical signs, and pa…thological findings, drawing comparisons to the chronic form to highlight the unique features of acute phthisis. The book also explores the different theories regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, and discusses the challenges associated with its diagnosis and treatment. Through a comprehensive analysis of case studies and a review of the existing literature, the author aims to deepen our understanding of this often-fatal condition and contribute to the ongoing search for more effective interventions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Twain's comedy of mistaken identities and multiple role switches was published first in various newspapers by the McClure Syndicate and later in…the Idler magazine, in 12 numbers. He wrote the novel with the help of recently invented (by Edison) phonographic dictation (precursor of the Dictaphone), supposedly the first author to do so. The novel was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, again, the first of its kind in fictitious literature. Indeed, all the weather in The American Claimant is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time. With 23 B & W Illustrations by Daniel Beard. A handsome copy. Daniel Carter Beard (illustrator) (illustrator).

Author Bio: Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 April 21, 1910), known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". Illustrated By: Dan Beard & Hal Hurst Illustrator Bio: Synopsis: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an 1889 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The book was originally titled A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Some early editions are titled A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur. In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut named Hank Morgan receives a severe blow to the head and is somehow transported in time and space to England during the reign of King Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of Arthur's knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful magician. He becomes a rival of Merlin, who appears to be little more than a fraud, and gains the trust of King Arthur. Hank attempts to modernize the past in order to make people's lives better. Hank is disgusted by how the Barons treat the commoners, and tries to implement democratic reforms, but in the end he is unable to prevent the death of Arthur. Hank declares England a republic, but the Catholic Church - growing fearful of his power - issues an interdict against him. Twain wrote the book as a burlesque of Romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armor. It is a satire of feudalism and monarchy that also celebrates homespun ingenuity and democratic values while questioning the for-profit ideals of capitalism and outcomes of the Industrial Revolution. At one point in the book, Twain even defends the French Revolution.[2] It is among several works by Twain and his contemporaries that mark the transition from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era of socioeconomic discourse. It is often cited as a formative example of the fledgling time travel genre.
