About this book

Hank Morgan, an American engineer, is transported to the medieval England of King Arthur. Armed with his modern knowledge, he tries to transform this archaic society by introducing progress and rational thinking. But he collides with entrenched traditions, beliefs, and power structures. Mixing humor and criticism, his experience reveals the limits of progress imposed from above. The author offers a sharp satire of society, technology, and the illusions of progress.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
