Um Ianque na Corte do Rei Artur

Summary

Um Ianque na Corte do Rei Artur (originalmente: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court) é um romance de 1889 do humorista e escritor americano Mark Twain. O livro foi originalmente intitulado A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Twain escreveu o livro como uma paródia de noções românticas de cavalaria depois de ser inspirado por um sonho em que ele próprio aparecia como um cavaleiro medieval europeu, gravemente incomodado pelo peso de sua armadura. É uma sátira ao feudalismo e à monarquia que também celebra a engenhosidade das pessoas comuns e os valores democráticos, ao mesmo tempo que questiona os fins meramente lucrativos do Capitalismo e os resultados da Revolução Industrial. Este livro mantém, tal como foram escritos, os insultos raciais e de outro tipo da sua época; o Guia do Livro explica essas palavras onde aparecem.
