This novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, the quintessentialself-reliant New Englander who brings to King Arthur’s Age ofChivalry the “great and beneficent” miracles of nineteenth-centuryengineering and American ingenuity. Through the collision of pastand present, Twain exposes the insubstantiality of both utopias,destroying the myth of the romantic ideal as well as his own era’sfaith in scientific and social progress. A central document in American intellectual history, AConnecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is at once a hilariouscomedy of anachronisms and incongruities, a romantic fantasy, autopian vision, and a savage, anarchic social satire that only oneof America’s greatest writers could pen.

The translations, created through a fresh approach to theNorwegian original in tandem with a keen sense of Ibsen'stheatricallity and playability, have all been tested and refined inproductions at professional theaters. The translators have paid particular attention to threeaspects of Ibsen's technique: his wit and humor, his "supertext" -the web of rich allusions and references that he weaves in andaround his dialogue - and the bold theatricallity of the plays. Theresult is an Ibsen that sounds contemporary without being slangy orcolloquial - an Ibsen of strong ideas but also living characters -and surprisingly different from the image of the cold, forbidding"scold of the North" that we often associate with this giantwriter. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

With the publication of her first novel, THE HEART IS A LONELYHUNTER, Carson McCullers, all of twenty-three, became a literarysensation. With its profound sense of moral isolation and itscompassionate glimpses into its characters' inner lives, the novelis considered McCullers' finest work, an enduring masterpiece firstpublished by Houghton Mifflin in 1940.
