SUMMARY:A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court - Mark Twain
DESCRIPTION:Books That Age Like Wine\n**Mark Twain moves from broad comedy
  to biting social satire in this literary classic.**\n\n**Cracked on the h
 ead by a crowbar in nineteenth-century Connecticut\, Hank Morgan wakes to 
 find himself in King Arthur’s England. After using his knoweldge of an u
 pcoming solar eclipse to escape a death sentence\, Hank must then navigate
  his way through a medieval world whose idyllic surface masks fear\, injus
 tice\, and ignorance.**\n\n**Considered by H. L. Mencken to be “the most
  bitter critic of American platitude and delusion…that ever lived\,” T
 wain enchants readers with a Camelot that strikes disturbingly contemporar
 y notes in this acclaimed tour de force that encompasses both the pure joy
  of wild high jinks and deeply probing insights into the nature of man.**

SUMMARY:The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
DESCRIPTION:Books That Age Like Wine\n**in 1860s Sicily\, Don Fabrizio Cor
 bera\, Prince of Salina\, remains skeptical and stoic as he faces civil wa
 r and his family's loss of wealth and status. The prince's favorite nephew
 \, Tancredi\, who opportunistically supports the unification efforts\, mar
 ries Angelica\, a beautiful woman from a lower social class\, to secure hi
 s future. This marriage symbolizes the shifting social order and the decli
 ne of the aristocracy. As Don Fabrizio struggles to adapt\, he retreats in
 to his love of astronomy\, finding solace in the unchanging stars while hi
 s world crumbles around him. Ultimately\, he must decide to resist the for
 ces of change or come to terms with them.**\n\n**Giuseppe Tomasi di Lamped
 usa\, the last in a line of Sicilian princes\, drew inspiration from his o
 wn family's decline to write this novel in the 1950s. The dramatic sweep a
 nd richness of Lampedusa’s observation\, his seamless intertwining of pu
 blic and private worlds\, and his sure grasp of human frailty imbue The Le
 opard with beauty and power.**
