内容推荐

This novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, the quintessential self-reliant New Englander, who brings to KingArthur"s Age of Chivalry the "great and beneficent" miracles of nineteenth-century engineering and American ingenuity, Through the collision of past and present, Twain exposes the insubstantiality of both utopias, destroying the myth of the romantic ideal as welt as his own era"s faith in scientific and social "progress."
