The Battle of the Sand-Belt 330 $aA Connecticut Yankee is Mark Twain's most ambitious work, a tour de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as "one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of our poor human race." The Yankee, suddenly transported from his native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to "boss the whole country inside of three weeks." And so he does. Emerging as "The Boss," he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot-with unexpected results. 410 0$aMark Twain Library 606 $aKnights and knighthood$zGreat Britain$vFiction 606 $aAmericans$zGreat Britain$vFiction 606 $aArthurian romances$vAdaptations 606 $aTime travel$vFiction 607 $aGreat Britain$vFiction 608 $aFantasy fiction$2lcgft 610 $a19th century. 610 $aadaptation. 610 $aadventure. 610 $aamerican lit. 610 $aamerican literature. 610 $aarthurian legend. 610 $aarthurian. 610 $aarthuriana. 610 $abritain. 610 $aclassic. 610 $acomedy. 610 $aengland. 610 $afiction. 610 $afunny. 610 $ahistorical fiction. 610 $ahumor. 610 $aking arthur. 610 $aliterary fiction. 610 $amedieval. 610 $amodern camelot. 610 $amodern king arthur. 610 $amythology. 610 $around table. 610 $asatire. 610 $asocial commentary. 610 $aspeculative fiction. 610 $atime travel. 610 $ayankee. 615 0$aKnights and knighthood 615 0$aAmericans 615 0$aArthurian romances 615 0$aTime travel 676 $a813.4 700 $aTwain$b Mark$f1835-1910.$027404 701 $aBeard$b Daniel Carter$f1850-1941.$01582763 701 $aStein$b Bernard L$01582764 712 02$aBancroft Library.$bMark Twain Project. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781631503321 996 $aA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court$93865383 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03556nam 2200577 450 001 9910818843603321 005 20230803195101.0 010 $a1-62349-141-X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000502970 035 $a(EBL)1604314 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001111367 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11717514 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001111367 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11129491 035 $a(PQKB)10183737 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1604314 035 $a(OCoLC)869736295 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse33576 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1604314 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10834911 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL571951 035 $a(OCoLC)869519874 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000502970 100 $a20140210h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Atchafalaya River Basin $ehistory and ecology of an American wetland /$fBryan P.

For more than five centuries, the Atchafalaya River Basin has captured the flow of the Mississippi River, becoming its main distributary as it reaches the Gulf of Mexico in south Louisiana.
