When The World Shook is an adventure novel written by H. Rider Haggard. The story follows the protagonist, Humphrey Arbuthnot, who is a wealthy and successful businessman. He embarks on a journey with his friend, the eccentric scientist Professor Bickley, on a yacht named the Dolphin. However, their journey takes a dramatic turn when they encounter a mysterious island that is home to a highly advanced civilization. The island is ruled by a beautiful and powerful queen named Yva, who has the ability to control the minds of those around her. Humphrey and his companions find themselves caught up in a dangerous and thrilling adventure as they try to unravel the secrets of the island and prevent a catastrophic event that could destroy the world. The novel is filled with action, romance, and suspense, and explores themes such as science, technology, and the nature of power.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.
