Item Description
Unabridged audiobook of Mark Twain's celebrated novel - a powerful satire of greed, war, and religion. Hank Morgan is a mechanic, engineer and a foreman at the Colt Arms Factory in the late 19th Century. One day he gets into an argument "conducted with crowbars" with an employee known as "Hercules." A blow to Hank's head sends him back to King Arthur's England in the Sixth Century. With his knowledge of modern technology and a gift for showmanship, he rapidly becomes a newspaper tycoon, an inventor, a wizard, a prominent politician and the world's first military industrial complex. Hank rises to a position of power second only to King Arthur himself, ultimately challenging all of knight errantry and even the established Church. A remarkably prescient tale, replete with brilliant humor, exciting action, searing satire and awe-inspiring philosophy, this book shows off Mark Twain's full range of incredible storytelling gifts and his remarkable philosophies of economics, religion, and politics. 12 Hours, 5 Minutes. Delivered as mp3 download (copy to mp3 player, iphone or disks)—totally Green! No fuel, no paper, no plastic, no road use.
