About this ebook
When the World Shook is a novel by H. Rider Haggard written in 1919. It deals with the adventures of Bastin, Bickley, and Arbuthnot as they travel to the south sea island of Orofena. The story begins as the main character, Humphrey Arbuthnot—a writer of adventure stories—is married to his wife Natalie. Shortly thereafter, she claims that she is going to die soon even though she has been given a clean bill of health from their doctor, Bickley. Right as Natalie dies, she tells Arbuthnot that soon he will want to travel somewhere, and that is where the two shall meet again.

Il puise dans ce vécu africain pour Les Mines du roi Salomon (1885) qui fut un immense succès. Son personnage d'Allan Quatermain poursuit avec le même bonheur ses aventures fantastiques, avant de se réincarner une demi-douzaine de fois au cinéma.
