Transported 1300 years into the past, Connecticut engineer Hank Morgan finds himself in Camelot, the legendary home of King Arthur and his fabled Knights of the Round Table. Becoming a friend and adviser to the king, Hank encounters Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, and all the other characters from Arthurian legend. As he attempts to take on the task of analyzing the problems of their time, he tries to share his knowledge from the future in order to modernize, Americanize, and improve the lives of the people he meets.

The novel was originally titled "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court". Some early editions are titled "A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur". In it, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut is accidentally transported back in time to the court of King Arthur, where he fools the inhabitants of that time into thinking he is a magician and soon uses his knowledge of modern technology to become a "magician" in earnest, stunning the English of the Early Middle Ages with such feats as demolitions, fireworks and the shoring up of a holy well.

Der aus Amerika stammende Schriftsteller Mark Twain (1835-1910) bereiste Europa ausführlich und mehrfach. Mit scharfem Blick nahm er dabei nicht nur die Eigenheiten der deutschen Sprache ins Visier (nachzulesen im Essay "The Awful German Language"), sondern auch die Begeisterung seiner Zeitgenossen für Alpenbesteigungen. Insbesondere die Berichte des Briten Edward Whymper über seine Erstbesteigung des Matterhorns (1865 von Zermatt aus) hatten es dem Schriftsteller so angetan, dass er beschloss: "Ich will den Riffelberg besteigen!"

What if Eve, the mother of all humankind, had blogged? What if she had shared her discoveries of the newly formed world, her experiments as the first scientist, and her travels as the first explorer? What if she shared the secrets of assisting the first man without damaging the first fragile male ego? What if we could enjoy with her the first falling in love? Perhaps she did. Perhaps we can. Perhaps somehow Mark Twain plucked that first "blog" out of the cosmic ether....
