When The World Shook is a science fiction novel written by H. Rider Haggard. The story follows the adventures of two Englishmen, Humphrey Arbuthnot and his friend, Captain John, who are shipwrecked on an island in the South Pacific. They discover that the island is home to a highly advanced civilization, ruled by a mysterious woman named Yva.As they explore the island, they discover that it is actually a massive spaceship, built by an ancient race of beings who had fled their dying planet in search of a new home. Yva is the last surviving member of this race and has been living on the ship for thousands of years.Arbuthnot and Captain John soon find themselves caught up in a struggle for power between Yva and her nemesis, Oro, a powerful sorcerer who seeks to take control of the ship and use it for his own purposes. Along the way, they encounter a variety of strange creatures and face numerous dangers as they try to help Yva defeat Oro and save the ship from destruction.When The World Shook is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and romance. It explores themes of love, loyalty, and the power of technology, and is sure to captivate readers of all ages.That carved stone and the marble hand took a great hold of my imagination. What did they mean? How could they have come to the bottom of that hole, unless indeed they were part of some building and its ornaments which had been destroyed in the neighbourhood? The stone of which we had only uncovered a corner seemed far too big to have been carried there from any ship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
