When the World Shook
H. Rider Haggard's *When the World Shook* plunges readers into a tale of cosmic adventure and mystical reunion, following Humphrey Arbuthnot, a grieving writer of romances. Haunted by his wife's dying promise that they would meet again, Arbuthnot embarks on a sea voyage with his friends, the cynical Dr. Bickley and the devout Reverend Bastin. A cataclysmic storm shipwrecks them on the uncharted island of Orofena, a land shrouded in ancient mystery. There, they stumble upon a hidden civilization and the slumbering figure of Oro, a god-like being of immense power, whose awakening threatens to reshape the very fabric of existence and perhaps fulfill Arbuthnot's desperate hope.
